Description
Describe the Bug.
Holding shift or cmd and clicking (or double clicking) should open links in a seperate tab. This seems to currently not be implemented for neither lists nor folder cards.
Reproduction Steps
- Click a list entry or a folder card while holding shift or cmd

Research direction
Begin with the click-handling entry points for list entries and folder cards in the admin UI, focusing on modifier-key behavior for single and double clicks. Verify the change by reproducing the reported steps and confirming that holding Shift or Command opens both link types in a separate tab.
