Make an act flag that can parameterize the new tab behavior in the example below, such that the user can choose whether or not to switch to the newly opened tab.

await page.goto("https://playwright.dev");
  await page.setContent(`
      <html>
        <body>
          <a href="https://playwright.dev" target="_blank">Open Playwright</a>
        </body>
      </html>
    `);
  await page.act("Click on Open Playwright link");

Hi, @kamath! Could you make sure that the newly opened tab supports Stagehand methods like act()? It doesn't seem that right now it's possible.

await page.goto("https://playwright.dev");
  await page.setContent(`
      <html>
        <body>
          <a href="https://playwright.dev" target="_blank">Open Playwright</a>
        </body>
      </html>
    `);

const [newTab] = await Promise.all([
  context.waitForEvent('page'),
  page.act({ action: 'Click on Open Playwright' })
]);

await newTab.waitForLoadState('load');
await newTab.act('Do smth') // getting an error accessing act method
