Usually when you click on a link with the middle mouse button it opens that link in a new tab.


This seems to not work with any of the button in the Power BI website. I use this feature a lot when browsing the web and would like it to be available in Power BI

RE: Allow middle click to open new tab in browser

It feels like the middle mouse button functionality is being progressively more blocked by the interface. I like to use it in the monitoring hub. I middle click on the report name to open the details associated with it in a new tab, deal with the details of the failure and potentially perform a refresh, and then close the tab. I feel like I used to be able to middle click on the report name, but not the workspace link, but now it seems that I can't even middle click on the report name. I'm not sure if this is an intentional design feature, or a side-effect of the tool they're using to develop the interface. Sometimes it feels like the available functionality is regressing.
