To skip many of these tabs opening in the first place when they're not originating from inside the browser but other apps (say a link in Slack or Notion): make a small script handle http[s] links for xdg-open; rewrite recognized domains to corresponding protocols (e.g. s#^https://zoom.us/#zoommtg://zoom.us/#) and recurse; otherwise forward to preferred browser as usual.

There's certainly corresponding ways to do that on Windows and MacOS.
