Description Marco Parillo 2019-02-03 19:43:44 UTC

SUMMARY
When a web page renders an HREF as a clickable link, I can right-click on it, and select Open link in new [tab|window]. It would be great if that same option existed for full URLs that for some reason are not rendered as HREFs.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Navigate to: https://www.techdirt.com/
2. Look at the box titled Techdirt Insider Chat in the right-hand column
3. Select a URL.
4. Right-click on the selection.

OBSERVED RESULT

1. The only option to navigate to that URL is Go to web address
2. That takes you away from the page you are browsing

REQUESTED RESULT
1. Additional Options like Open in new tab and Open in new window and Open in new private window

You can just do middle click on "Go to web address option". There is no need of 220 more context menu options.

If for some reason you can't perform the mouse middle click, 'Ctrl + Left Click' should work as well.

Comment 3 David Rosca 2019-03-14 10:22:29 UTC

You can either middle click or Ctrl + left click on the "go to web address" action to open it in new tab.
