Some ideas (may or may not be any good):

1. re-opened closed tab should go, as best as possible, where the
original tab was.  There are a few ways to do this (remember how many
tabs were to the left or right of the tab, remember which tabs were to
the left or right, leave a hidden marker in the tab list, etc).  I
don't think this would be too difficult assuming a fairly simple
algorithm is used.  It doesn't have to be perfect or be expected to
work perfectly if someone has made a ton of changes to the tab list.

Improvements in the algorithm can probably be made down the road once
the basic functionality is in place, so it should probably have two
parts: remembering where the tab should go, and sticking it in that
location.  As long as the two parts are made generic one can be
changed while the other is kept the same.

2. Add a "open distination folder" button to the "download finished"
notification when using plasma notifications for tracking downloads.

3. Close right tabs to the right/close tabs to the left right-click
menu buttons when clicking on a tab

4. Option to open links to a new domain in a new tab.
