Before Submitting

  • I searched existing issues and confirmed this is not a duplicate
  • This is a feature request, not a bug or support question
    This could possibly be considered a UI bug.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Links on connections/dashboard tabs do not work like a regular link that most people are used to. When you middle click on the links nothing happens, despite the links changing to underlined, and the mouse cursor changing. Right clicking on the link does not allow opening a new tab either.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the links on the connections/dashboard tabs to work like regular links, and allow middle clicking so that the documents they link to can be opened in a new browser tab.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Without the middle click feature, the user must left click the link which opens the linked document in the same browser tab and causes the user to lose context. If multiple connection links need to be opened the user must jump back and forth. This gets even more time consuming if changes or further navigation happens within the linked documents.

Impact

  • [] Blocks critical workflow — no viable workaround
  • Significant friction — workaround exists but is painful
  • [] Nice to have — minor improvement
