Setting default of how to open a file

When using Dropbox from a web browser and clicking on a file, I would like to have the option of setting it to always default the opening that file in another tab or another window.

Settings->Apps->Default Editing Apps.
Set to "Open with" rather than "View on dropbox.com"
I had to unset and set to get it to pick up the settings correctly.
