Yeah, I understand your problem and congrats for finding such an interesting case :) I can think of a few approaches to go around, not really fix the problem. You could render an icon after a link to open in a new window (you know those small box icons with a small arrow pointing top-right). Better yet, you could make an extended CommandLink (or hell, just add to the x:commandLink) with an additional attribute "newWindowLink" with default value false, and if set to yes, the component would render the icon with a link for you. Then donate the component to MyFaces and get praise and glory :) That would also save the user the trouble to right-click the link. Another approach would be to render the link with some GET request parameters. If the link is left-clicked those parameters would be ignored and it would do a normal post request, but if the link is right-clicked you could use those parameters to somehow (yes, it would require some more thought) figure out which action the user actually meant. I would consider it a hack but I bet you'd get it to work with something like that.
