Stop links from automatically playing

[catchformethefoxes]

When I listen to a playlist and my friend is sending me a Spotify link, if I open it, my previous playlist is lost and the link start playing.

I want to be able to open the link without affecting my current playlist. I want to decide myself what I want to do with this song - play it right away, maybe add to the current queue or just add to my songs and listen later.

This issue is very annoying, it is described here and supported by tens of other users

When opening a song through a link, it automatically overrides the ongoing playlist and plays instantly. This has been an issue for years. Please include a setting to disable this feature so I may open links to songs without losing what I am currently listening to. Then I may choose to add the linked song to my que or continue to browse the artist if I want. There is currently no work around to this issue and it makes sharing music a pain.
