How to jump to tab if trying to open already opened file in Vim

Question

I'm opening new tabs using command

:tabnew path/to/file

Is it possible to force Vim to jump to already opened tab with file, if I'm trying to open file which is already opened?

Try to use the :drop command. It helps. Related infos:
