title: jQuery: Detect Mouse Click and Open Target in New Tab
body: <p>I'm currently designing a simple forum application.  It's mostly powered by jQuery/AJAX and loads everything on the same page; however, I know that sometimes users want to open several topics at once to look at them in new tabs when browsing a forum.</p>
  
  <p>My solution to this was to detect when the middle mouse button is clicked and the left mouse button is clicked, and doing different actions then.  I want to load the target with AJAX in the window when the left-mouse button is clicked, otherwise load it in a new tab.</p>
  
  <p>My only problem is I don't know of a way to open a target location in a new tab with jQuery.  Obviously opening new tabs at will isn't allowed, but is there a way to assign this type of behavior to a user-generated action?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
