Description

Previously in Graylog, one could quite easily open multiple items from the entitle table by opening links in a new tab/window. Graylog 7.1 broke this. This has also been carried over into Graylog 7.2

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Graylog lookup table on versions 7.1 or 7.2 and compare its behavior with the earlier version. Trace the lookup-table item links to identify the regression; done means standard link actions can open items in a new tab or window while normal navigation still works.
