Open URL in new Safari tab with AppleScript

Question

Is it possible to use AppleScript to open a link in a new tab in Safari?

Answer 1

Not the shortest solution but also works, and not only in English ...

tell application "Safari"
    activate
end tell

tell application "System Events"
    set frontmost of process "Safari" to true
    keystroke "t" using {command down}
end tell

set myURL to "anyurl.html"
delay 2
tell application "Safari" to set the URL of the front document to myURL
