It is already established that by holding down the CTRL key and clicking on a
link, the link opens in a new tab.  Additionally, by holding down the Shift key,
it opens in a new window.

I was using the View Image feature today, and tried using CTL to force it into a
new tab.  It didn't work of course, however, I think this might be a useful feature.

Thus, I propose that pressying CTRL and clicking on "View Image" in the context
menu should open the image in a new tab.
Also, by pressing SHIFT and clicking "View Image" in the context menu, it should
open a new window.

Reproducible: Always
