Description

Feature Request Description

SuccessFactors has started to use the <ui5-shellbar> and the menu items (a.k.a. module picker) used to support Right Click + Open in new tab. The way it did this was by rendering the line item as an anchor link with an href. Can this be support be added to the web component?

Proposed Solution

The <ui5-li> that we put into slot="menuItems" might support other things like <ui5-link> or something else that supports right click to open in new tab. But visually speaking the menu should look exactly the same as it did before.

Proposed Alternatives

No known alternatives, user can only left click the menu item and do the default behavior without customizing it.

Additional Context

This functionality will be missed when we activate the new header, and people have already started to notice that this is gone.
