Basicly I would like to see links in Sidebars behave same ways and have same
features as links in main part of a browser have (ie right-click menu,
Ctrl+click to open link in new tab, new window, etc.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open a sidebar tab that has some kind of a link
2. try right clicking on a link for a menu or ctrl clicking in order to open the
link in a new tab


Actual Results:  
there's no right-click menu for links in sidebar that can be used to "Open Link
in New Tab" and ctrl clicking doesn't work because the link does not open in new tab

Expected Results:  
have a right click menu for link similar to those main browser area, and have
ctrl clicking for opening links in new tabs and other combination work.

Partial workaround: For opening content, drag link into Tabs area.  This is
non-obvious to me.

Since menu items don't apply to the sidebar, I am unable to view source, which
is a minor annoyance when debugging sidebar issues.

Forgot.. sidebar bookmarks, history  now DO have "open in new tab" in context
menu. The rest, ctrl-clicking, is dup of bug 72361
