Right-clicking on profile ID link: Please allow opening the profile in new tab

No one in particular

Scenario: Browser (desktop/mobile). I want to attach a record but the record is already attached to another profile. The Profile ID is a clickable link.

Clicking the link will open a stub of the profile. In a desktop browser, a frame opens to the right.

In mobile, the frame opens in a modal-like overlay (as shown in this thread).

In desktop this works pretty well, especially if a stub is enough.

• Relevant note: If I'm in a situation where I'm facing records that are already attached, I probably need the full profile, not just a stub.

In mobile, the overlay isn't great. Not even in principle. It feels fragile and unpredictable. I don't know what short and long presses are supposed to do. ATM, it isn't obvious how to get rid of the thing.

Worse for mobile, the overlay covers info I need. I can't tab back and forth because, well, it's an overlay. The stub and linker are in same browser tab.

I'm back at the source linker. I right click (or long-press) the ID link, so I can open that profile in a new tab. But right-click is crippled here and the context menu options (Open link in a new tab, etc) are missing.

I am unhappy with this link behavior.

What I want: It would be awesome for us users if the default, right-click functionality is preserved. Particularly in this instance but also everywhere.

Thank you for reading.

This is me sharing why this small link thing isn't small to me. Feel free to skip it.

Right clicking a link and discovering it is crippled is unanticipated behavior. This interrupts my workflow and my concentration. If I'm sorting a complex problem (improperly merged families), that can matter.

When I click on the profile ID link, I have a new frame to contend with. That frame comes with it's own rules and a different layout.

To open that profile in a new tab, I have to figure out a new process. It winds up having a number of non-intuitive steps (1 stop right clicking, click instead, 2 isolate the method to open new tab. 3 navigate to that element. 4 click or right click the element? I can't remember' it's my 1zillionth web UI detail. 5 try both).

It's all very anti-smooth.
