Open link in new tab

Ui.Vision

This should work fine. Note that XClick | ... | #ctrlclick on the link opens the page in new tab, but does not switch to the new tab! => For this, you need to use selectWindow | tab=1 afterwards. This command switches to the tab on the right of the currently active tab.
