Windows 10: Notepad to not create multiple tabs for same file.

I like the new Notepad, but I would like to see it open a file only in one tab, and not creating another tab if I open the file again.Example, I have a file "abcd.txt". Notepad creates a tab of abcd.txt every time I open the file. So, in the app I have 5 tabs of abcd.txt, one for every time I open it.Shouldn't work this way. As other similar apps does, even if you open it 1000 times you should still have only 1 tab of that file in the app.

Multiple Notepad files not cascading.
