title: simulate ctrl + click with javascript or jquery (to open a new tab without focus)
body: <p>I am playing with the jquery event object but I am stuck as hell</p>
  
  <p>I read the API <a href="https://api.jquery.com/category/events/event-object/" rel="noreferrer">https://api.jquery.com/category/events/event-object/</a> but it's not really helping here, I am not even sure it's a good lead to do that</p>
  
  <p>Do you have any suggestion ( the problem is to do the exact ctrl + click on a link). I saw some posts about it but nothing seems to work on the recent browsers</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>very simple exemple :</em></strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;span id="toto"&gt;toto&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;a href="https://google.fr" id="inANewTab"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  
  // The goal is when I click on #toto, I would like #inANewTab trigger 
  // in a new tab without focus. To do that I was thinking
  // about replicate a ctrl+click event
  
  $('#toto').click(function(){
    ???
  })
  </code></pre>
