Thanks 1P_Evon !

Interestingly, I just discovered something wonderful:
I've been a Safari user for some time, but I'm just in the process of switching to Chrome. On Chrome, launching the browser shows a tab with the "New Tab" page. Likewise, opening a new tab shows the "New Tab" page. Finally, clicking "Home" goes to the "New Tab" page. (I'm sure some of this is customizable). When I select "Open and Fill" from the 1Password extension while the "New Tab" page is showing, it works like I prefer -> the existing tab loads the site. Excellent!

When I wrote up my explanation above, I mentioned using Chrome but I was actually using Safari. I would appreciate if you could update any ticket you've filed to correct my error.

In summary, I'd still like to see the enhancement described above be made for Safari. For Chrome, things are better (when starting from the "New Tab" page) but it would still be nice to be able to repurpose an existing tab.

Thanks!
