SUMMARY Middle-clicking internal PDF links to sections within a PDF doesn't work in Okular. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Configure okular to have tabs for documents. 2. Open some PDF with internal links that take to some section of the same PDF. 3. Try to middle-click the internal link. OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens. EXPECTED RESULT Should open the link in a new tab.

Why should it?

Okular is not a web browser nor a terminal not a file manager, any document viewer with that behaviour?

I am not familiar with any other document viewer with support for tabs, other than Konqueror if you want to consider it as such, which does open links in new tabs when middle-clicked. PDF viewers in web browsers (at least chromium-based ones) also open internal links in a new tab when middle clicked, if you count them as document viewers. Sioyek (PDF viewer without tabs) opens internal links in a web browser when middle-clicked. Evince doesn't support tabs, but offers the option to open internal links in a new window when right-clicked, which is probably the closest thing.
I don't agree, but i guess a wish is a wish.
