Hello Esther, Thank you for your response I should have clarified that I'm able to use the Command+physical mouse / trackpad click to open a link in a new window, , but I was hoping to find a keyboard alternative to doing this without using the physical mouse / trackpad. i'm not counting the rodent out but figured there must be a keyboard alternative that I've overlooked.
I've tried adding the Command key to the standard VO+Spacebar and VO+Shift+spacebar keystrokes but these don't seem to perform as an alternative to the Command+physical mouse click combo, unless I've got something misconfigured. Do you have any thoughts as to why the VO+Shift+M combo sometimes opens the correct shortcut menu containing actions that can be applied to the currently highlighted link, while other times it opens a shortcut menu that seems to be the menu of actions that would apply to the current page, not the link.
