The last one is the option I use, mainly for returning to the "parent"
tab.  I'd prefer "the tab containing the link that opened this tab or
the last selected tab" but that's not available.

Make a complete list with the desired names, please.

Let's reconsider after you made the list with the value names ("sibling"
is probably too internal, IIRC even you used "parent" instead).
