Description

When using Arc Browser, they have a feature called "Peek window" where we can open a link in a peek window by Shift+clicking it. Is it possible to create a keymap like f but instead of clicking / opening the link, it would it to open in a Peek window?

Browser and Vimium version

Arc Version 0.111.0 (39916)
Chromium Engine Version 114.0.5735.198
Vimium Version 1.67.4

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing f keymap and its link-opening path, then check how Vimium handles modified clicks. Done means a keymap can reliably trigger the requested Shift+left-click behavior, with coverage for the relevant interaction if the project has tests.
