Quantum open systems are described in the Markovian limit by master equations
in Lindblad form. I argue that common ``quantum jumps'' techniques, which solve
the master equation by unraveling its evolution into stochastic trajectories in
Hilbert space, correspond closely to a particular set of decoherent histories.
This is illustrated by a simple model of a photon counting experiment.
