Do you have a mouse with a scroll wheel? If you do, then clicking the scroll wheel while hovering over something should open the link in a new tab

Ooh, I've forgotten the scroll is clickable, mine isn't doing the trick though, just the usual auto slow-mo scroll

Interesting, mine has always done it. Maybe it's a setting somewhere?

I will have to use the old fashioned right click. It is okay I can manage.

If you're on windows, I bet there's a way to do it

It makes it a lot faster. Removes a click from the process

Try ctrl + shift + click
