I do the same, but you and me are not regular end users, are we? ;) I think of going on edmunds.com and right-clicking on the image link only to get the same page in another window. These guys show images in a popup window using Javascript, and suppose that users always left-click. This arrogance infuriates me, but considering that such a huge site implemented this design, and they are pretty successful, I conclude that most users use left button only. Also, there are Mac users, too ;) Your example works for me, because archive lists are not updated, so who cares if you open ten windows with the same list? Oh, right, paging. This can be screwed up. So, a page number should be a request parameter, not a problem :) Have you tried SelectAction, which can be called now from any action class to dispatch a request? Its usage does not require from you to use any other features of the library. All you have to do is to send proper parameter identifying the event, that is all.
