[Feature request] Ctrl+Click (or similar) instead of Double Click to open links

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Description of the Issue

So often, I've been using NP++ to keep lists of URLs for testing, for example, and I'd love to be able to select part of an URL by double clicking, as you would normally.
But NP++'s only way of opening links directly hijacks the double click.

Describe the solution you'd like.

I'd love an alternative behavior, like

• Ctrl+click
• Alt+click
• middle-click

for opening links.

No response

No implementation files or tests are named. Start by locating the current direct-link opening behavior and its double-click handling, then assess how a modifier or middle-click could be added without taking over normal text selection. Done means the chosen alternate gesture opens links while double-click still selects URL parts normally.
