Can use a navigation event to go to any URL, there will be an option to open as a new tab. Though I'm not sure how you'd check if the ctrl key is being pressed, if it was possible. ---

Right-Click work well, but I don't want to pass by it, I want to use directly CTRL-Click but don't want to have to create a scripting event on it. ---

The answer to the OP question is to use the Link component? [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+-+Link](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+-+Link) If you make it a link, it will be emitted to the DOM as a regular-ol-`` element. Then it's up to the user agent (the browser) to interpret a click/ctrl click/long press/etc as whatever link clicking action to either open in the user's current tab or a new tab, _per what the user has defined_. If you want control, you have to use scripting. If you want standard behavior for users, you have to use the Link component. ---

I tried Link component with Chrome, Firefox, Edge and only the Right+Click works, CTRL+Click doesn't open link in new tab like any other website ---

Just to make sure we are clear (Luc's colleague here), we did try to use a link. When we do, if we right-click the link (Chrome), we have "open in a new tab" in the menu and it works. If we CTRL-click the link, it does not open in a new tab like the same browser does usually. It seems there is something that disrupts the browser from seeing this as a normal link, but somehow only when CTRL-clicking. ---

This does appear to be a bug, though it's unclear if we're preventing the requested/desired behavior, or if its a consequence of our key-handling during click events. I've opened an internal ticket to investigate and see about a potential fix.
