Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When viewing mails on a small laptop screen, it's annoying, that it's impossible to view a mail in a new window or tab, without the accounts and mails sections. Crtl+mouse click, scroll-wheel-click or open link in new tab/window always opens the full mail app.
Describe the solution you'd like
Either extend the ... menu with a new menu item for this, or, simpler, let the user ctrl+mouse click or scroll-click to do it.

Research direction
Start from the mail navigation and link-handling entry points for opening a message; no specific files or tests are named in the issue. Verify how modifier-click, scroll-click, and the menu currently open messages, then make the requested behavior open only the message view in a new tab or window without the accounts and mail sections.
