 ```
   
 Tries to use `GM.openInTab` to open the given URL in a new tab, or as a fallback if the grant is not given, creates an invisible anchor element and clicks it.  
 If `background` is set to true, the tab will be opened in the background. Leave `undefined` to use the browser's default behavior.  
+If `additionalProps` is set and `GM.openInTab` is not available, the given properties will be added or overwritten on the created anchor element.  
   
 ⚠️ Needs the `@grant GM.openInTab` directive, otherwise only the fallback behavior will be used and the warning below is extra important:  
 ⚠️ For the fallback to work, this function needs to be run in response to a user interaction event, else the browser might reject it.
