Activating already existing tab

[t3ster]

Is there a way (command line switch?) to activate an already existing tab when opening a path through command line?
Or is there a setting in the configuration options?

I looked in the help section in tcmd (Command line parameters) and in the tcmd configuration settings.

I also tried to find it here on the forum but only found the following topics about this:
* Action when trying to change directory in a locked tab
* Why TC does not activate the existing tab?
* activate an existing tab instead of creating a new one
* Command Line: switch to existing tab if path matches
* Avoid Opening the Same Folder in Different Tabs
