1686439 - Override target browsing context for window.open() with control modifier key

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, enhancement)

Description

[Kagami Rosylight [:saschanaz] (they/them)]

The spec says:

If there is a user agent that supports control-clicking a link to open it in a new tab, and the user control-clicks on an element whose onclick handler uses the window.open() API to open a page in an iframe element, the user agent could override the selection of the target browsing context to instead target a new tab.

Currently Chrome implements this behavior.

This example shows different behavior for clicking and control-clicking on Chrome.
