Description
As a user, I would like to be able to use the keyboard command Ctrl+click to open links on the app in a new tab.
Implemanting this delivers value to users in the following ways:
- Preserving navigation state: Users can investigate supplementary information without losing their place in your platform
- Enhancing multitasking: Users can compare information across multiple pages simultaneously
- Reducing friction: Users already expect this standard browser behavior on websites

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Ctrl+click behavior in the app and tracing which rendered links do not preserve the browser's standard new-tab behavior. Identify the relevant navigation or link-rendering entry point and verify that Ctrl+click opens the destination in a new tab without losing the current page.
