Description
When you try to open a link, depending if Shift is being held or not it shows you a hint "Open link in a new tab" or "Open link in current tab". How difficult would it be to make it that it would slightly change link label's color instead? That way I think it would be more clear whether new tab would be created or current tab would be replaced with new content.

Research direction
Start by locating the code that renders link labels and updates their hints when Shift is held. Read how the current-tab and new-tab states are determined, then check the relevant UI styling entry points. Done means the label color clearly distinguishes the two actions without removing the existing interaction behavior.
