Description Alejandro G. Castro 2009-02-27 08:17:19 UTC 
When the user clicks in a link with target="_blank" using the middle button of the mouse, the browser must open the link inside a new tab and not a new window. This is the common behavior of the browser nowadays.

Patch adding the feature

This patch uses a new signal in WebKit (new-window-policy-decision-requested) to open the new windows with target blank in tabs in case the user clicked the link with the middle button. This patch requires that the patch in this bug in Webkit bugzilla is applied
