Currently, when I double-click on a file in Finder, it opens a new Sublime Text window, when I already have a Sublime Text window open. This results in me having to drag the tab in the new window to the existing window. If I use the File–>Open menu in Sublime Text, it, of course, opens in the same window.
I would like the default behavior, when opening a file in Finder, to open the file in the existing Sublime Text window. I scoured through the settings/preferences in Sublime Text, but I couldn't find anything related to what I want.
Is this behavior even possible? If so, how do I modify the preferences to achieve it?

There's a macOS-only setting which does exactly that (taken from
Preferences.sublime-settings
):When using the command-line, you can use the
-a
switch to append to an existing window:subl -a index.html
The same switch could be used on Windows by modifying the default open action in the registry.
