      Description

      When viewing search results, the natural browser functionality to right a click and open that link in a new tab is disabled. This is a pretty bad usability problem, in the opinion of my users. A few years ago browsers introduced tabs and the world has been a better place ever since. Now CiviCRM has disallowed right clicking to open a link in a new tab on the search results.

      Users can no longer open a few different Contact records to view them side by side without repeated < Back button clicking. I know you guys mean well and created the right-click menu to enhance usability...... but..... by disabling natural browser functionality on the View + Edit links, you've taken a step backwards.
