How do I make a newly opened file the active window on GNOME 3?

Question

When I double click a file in Nautilus (e.g. a LibreOffice document) it will open a new window in the background, but Nautilus remains the active window.

Is there a way to open a file and have the new window automatically become the active window?

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.

Use a GNOME shell extensions called NoAnnoyance. This extension would put the newly launched window in focus straight away.
