Starting to wonder if you're gently pulling our legs.

".. something like <br>". How similar to <br> should that "something" be? In
what way would it be similar?

Maybe read a recent book on using HTML and CSS together, and then frame clear
and well-defined questions for forums like this, for any remaining questions?
And focus on what you want to achieve, rather than spouting tag-salad in
rambling questions.

Folk here are not unhelpful. If you mean browser tabs, then that's not an HTML
or CSS issue, though the HTML "target=_blank" attribute will be worth
understanding.
