Tab opens in new window on using 'open in windows terminal' feature when another windows exists

[agrmohit]

Environment

Platform ServicePack Version      VersionString
-------- ----------- -------      -------------
 Win32NT             10.0.19042.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19042.0

Steps to reproduce

On clicking 'Open in Windows Terminal' in File Explorer the current location opens in a tab in a new window even when another window already exists. This is unexpected and unnecessarily creates one more window to keep track of when alt+tabbing

Furthermore, the inability of being able to drag a tab from the new window to the old one is sorely felt but that is in the scope of another issue

Expected behavior

It is expected that the new tab will open in the same window which is already open

Actual behavior

The new tab is opened in a new window

Possible solution

There could be a user-configurable setting to decide whether tabs should open in a new window or in an already open one
