<![CDATA[no option to "open link in new tab"]]>Hello,

First of all, I just moved to opera yesterday after long years of chrome usage, so far I'm really loving it! however there's this small problem which I'd be helpful if someone tackled! ๐Ÿ™‚

I currently am experiencing somewhat annoying issue, I work with google forms day to day and I get really a lot of responses there and each of them consists of dozens of links, and the issue is, there's no option to "open link in new tab", if I open link it automatically just opens it in same tab, which means after I'm done checking provided link, I gotta manually go back, find my way back to whichever response it was out of dozens and continue it on like that, which is definitely adding a lot of unnecessary work.

The option to "open link in new tab" appears everywhere except there as far as I noticed and I have no idea why, for instance, in this forum the option is there once you right click link - https://i.imgur.com/BJd7xWO.png

And on google forms as I wrote earlier, these are the options - https://i.imgur.com/mhMyHMG.png

I hope I've explained this well enough, sorry for any grammar errors I've possibly made.

I don't use GForms to test if something could be done.

@Sgunhouse.
Didn't know about that trick. ๐Ÿ‘

@sgunhouse holding ctrl works, thanks for that ๐Ÿ™‚ it'd still be nice to somehow have it seen as a link instead of text, although I'm not sure right now if it would be google forms fault or operas.

If you hold Ctrl while selecting "Go to web address" it should probably work.

It seems it's not detected as a Link or some text is selected too.

You can try on a Private Window or with this.
