I noticed that in the screen capture it's actually Open In New Editor and it seems to be in really should be title case like in all these other places:

Note that things are entirely consistent mind you:

Thanks for checking, I'll update this soon in JDT UI. 👍


![Context in Hyperlink](images/OptionInHyperLink.png)

When navigating to a declaration, implementation, or method within the same editor, users can now choose to open the target in a separate editor tab directly from the hyperlink menu.

This makes it easier to inspect implementations, compare code, and work with multiple locations in parallel without losing your current position.
