Hi, does anyone know how to make links clicked open in a new tab, rather than in the existing tab, in the new Microsoft Edge Chromium, please?

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Closest workaround I've found is to either:
or
Then you just get in the habit of clicking links using a 3 finger tap, or your middle mouse button.
Opens links in a new tab every time.
Still wish there was a default for normal left click to do it though.
I realize that this is just the Bing settings, so it will not change for any other search engine you use from Edge.
I haven't seen anyone mention this, so I'll throw it out there. Has anyone tried clicking on the link using the middle button on their mouse? This is what I do using the Chrome browser but no harm in trying to see if it may work in Edge!
Yes, this works in Edge too. Allowing us to set our preferred default behavior would be optimal, but this is a good tip/workaround for anyone using a mouse with middle-click capability.

It works on some sites and sometimes doesn't work on other sites.
