We already support one.   Shift-control click (or shift-middle click) open a
link in a new foreground tab.  This is the standard shortcut on other
browsers as well.  The fact that this is far less well-known than
control-click (which is also undiscoverable) suggests to me this is a far
less common need.

Note that this doesn't work correctly in gmail, where middle- and
shift-middle clicks seem to always open background tabs, and control- and
shift-control clicks seem to always open foreground tabs (WTF?).

I do not think we should add this as a context menu option.  I think the
negative effect is moderate and the benefits for various user cohorts are
minimal.
