Steps To reproduce:

  1. Enable Link Preview
  2. Open any page
  3. Mouse hover a link
  4. Press [Shift] Key
  5. then, try to left/right mouse click on the link

Actual Results:
The link preview panel is displayed when it overlaps with the mouse pointer.

Therefore, when you try to left-click, right-click, or middle-click on the link, you have to hide the panel or move the mouse pointer slightly to the link location. WHICH IS VERY ANNOYING.

Expected Results:
The link preview panel should be displayed in a position that does not interfere (overlap) with the mouse pointer.
OR
The link preview panel should accept mouse events that correspond to the original link.
In other words, right-clicking should display the link's context menu, and left-clicking should perform the same action as left-clicking the link. The same applies to combinations of modifier keys and mouse operations.
