Internal Command: Close Duplicate Tabs

[MG250]

I often end up with duplicate tabs in my workflow. Is it currently possible to perform the following using an internal command?

If not, could these be added as possible values for the TABCLOSEALL argument? Thank you.

I would use this functionality to add these buttons to the folder tabs context menu.

It is simple and works quite well.
I use the stand alone clickable version.
I see @Jon has posted as I was typing.

Here's my copy of the working button.
