"Open..." and "Open in new tab...".

What do you mean by "session"? Process running Wireshark?
If so, what should happen is whatever the desktop environment makes happen.
On OS X, if Wireshark can support multiple open files in a single process, the
desktop environment should - and probably will, by default - cause the new file
to be opened in the same process, because that's how it's done on OS X.
On Windows, "multiple open files in a single process" does not appear to be a
common case. For Microsoft Network Monitor, for example, double-clicking a
capture file starts a new process running Network Monitor, with the file in
question open in it.
On KDE, at least when KWrite is opening .txt files, double-clicking a .txt file
when KWrite already has another .txt file open starts a new process running
KWrite, with the file in question open in it. And KWrite *does* support having
multiple files open in a single process - that's what the "Open..." menu item
does.
> I think Kate is good example because open file in specified session works
I think Kate is a horrible example because
1) it doesn't have an option of opening in a separate window;
2) if you have multiple tabs open, there does not appear to be anything in
the window that indicates what files are open or that lets you select a
particular document, in a fashion similar to the way tabs work in Konqueror and
Konsole, it just has those stupid "Back" and "Forward" buttons.
