Description
Describe the bug
normally when using f plus shift, it open the selected link in a new tab rather than the current tab, but for the book headers in j-novel, this somehow does not work
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to https://j-novel.club/series
- press
f(after everything has loaded) - push the key for the book header (in the screenshot
M) while also pressing down on SHIFT
Example of a book header on j-novel (while having f mode activated):

Browser and Vimium version
firefox 103.0 linux (manjaro)
vimium 1.67.1
OS: Linux 5.18.14-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Jul 24 09:00:58 UTC 2022
PS: middle-mouse-button click works, but CTRL+Click does not

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on the j-novel.club series page using Vimium's f mode and Shift, comparing book headers with links that work correctly. Trace the link-hint handling for Shift or new-tab activation; done means book-header links open in a new tab consistently.
