Even when using tabbed browsing they open up a new window. And as a user you can't even tell by looking at the link what the behavior will be. I don't see any reason to EVER let this decision out of the hand of the user. If I left click on a link I want the page to load in the same window/tab. If I middle click I want the page to load in a new window/tab. Period! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
