Subject: [PATCH] Theseus: an add-on's link to a sidebar app's site opens in
 that app

An add-on's "Send on Telegram" used to open web.telegram.org in a new
tab. Theseus already has Telegram and WhatsApp in the sidebar, signed
in, so a link to the site of an app on the strip now opens in its panel
at that address (a share screen, a chat). Everything else still opens
in a tab.
