Feature request for Navigation: Treat forced opened new tab by the page as it was opened in the origin tab

Project Member Reported by meh...@chromium.org, Jan 9 2017 
Chrome Version: 57.0.2976.0 canary (64-bit)
OS: MacOS 10.12.2

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) go to news.google.com
(2) click on a link on this page

What is the expected result? What happens instead?
The link opens in a new tab, because it is "forced" by the page to open in a new tab and the focus is on the new opened tab now.

In Safari I noticed a nice history navigation feature: The „forced" open in new tab by the page is treated as it was opened in the origin tab. This means you can now do a swipe back with the Magic Mouse/Trackpad or click on the back arrow icon on that new created tab and the result is, that the new tab closes and you land back on the origin Google News page.

It would be nice to see this feature also in Chrome :-)

Please find enclosed a screencast, how it works in Safari.

If you need more information, please let me know.

Thanks and kind regards,
Mehmet

This feature is now also available on Safari for iOS. It would be nice to see this on ChromeForMobile too. Thanks.
