As the title says. How can I open up a new elevated tab in the new windows terminal without having to open an entire new window? I had a look at this question. However it only talks about opening up a new elevated window in a comfortable way.

You cannot currently open an elevated tab in a non-elevated Terminal instance as this could expose the user/processes to various integrity level vulnerabilities.
However, you CAN launch a separate elevated Terminal instance just as you would any other Windows app - right clicking the Icon in your taskbar or start menu, and then right clicking the "Windows Terminal" entry in the pop-up context menu:
Alternatively, hold CTRL + SHIFT while clicking the Terminal icon in your taskbar or start menu.
⚠️ Note: It is highly recommended that you only run an elevated application long enough to complete a given task that requires elevation, and then close that application and continue running a non-elevated instance. This will help ensure that you do not unnecessarily expose yourself, your data, and your systems to potential violation.
