I completely agree with you, in that.
It not only forces one to use rekonq in one way but to use it completely 
contrary to what virtual desktops are thought for: Space.
It is the behaviour I would expect for activities, but not for vd as these are 
made to have e.g. kdevelop on one and rekonq on another vd, so forcing to open 
a link on the current vd (=>opening a new window if there's no rekonq-window 
on the current vd) is imho not the way to go (it would just increase the 
confusion about activities/vd).

So I wouldn't offer the option to always open links in the current vd at all 
(just my personal opinion).

But the proposed standard-behaviour is exactly what I would expect, so you 
have my support for that :)
