How to prevent VSCode from opening same file multiple times?

Question

Assume you have index.js and service.ts in the side explorer. When I click on index.js , it opens in a view A . Then I open service.ts in a separate view B right to the first one and keep the focus in B and then click on index.js in the sidebar, it also opens in B . Can VS Code be configured such that instead of opening the file again, it switches to the already open one?

Additionally, if I really want the file open twice, I could open it a second time by double clicking it or dragging it to the view where it isnt present already.
