You can use Safari preferences (⌘ ,) to change this setting, you can use automatically or always for opening pages in new tabs instead of new windows.
In Safari > Preferences > Tabs, there's a preference for setting when pages should open in windows or tabs.
Look here:
- Open Safari > Preferences and select Tabs along the top
- Under the option for "Open pages in tabs instead of windows:" select "Always" from the drop-down.
This will force every application to open links in tabs.

Best Answer
Go to Preferences → Tabs and enable When a new tab or window opens, make it active.
Enabling this option switches the shift modifier to disabling this functionality rather than enabling it.
