Can IntelliJ IDEA editor tabs be split without leaving a copy in the original tab?

In IntelliJ IDEA, is there a way with splitting editor tabs (split vertically/horizontally regardless) to just send a particular file to a newly split tab without leaving a copy in the original tab? (that I then have to close each time)

I work a lot with splitting editor tabs and it's a waste of time and focus that for every new split I have to also close the old tab (99,9% of time I use one tab per file).

It would be great to know if there already is a way to do what I want so I can use it or prepare a feature request.. or write a plug-in :>

Cheerio!

the procedure in question to be shortened hopefuly
