Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.control + click does not open in new window/tab, it will just open in the same window.
It seems to be because the event.metaKey is being checked which according to the jQuery docs maps to the command key on macs and the windows key on windows.

This means that mac users will most likely have no problems as they use the command key + click to open in new window but windows and linux users use the control key + click.
It only appears to be an issue in jQuery 1.6+. The metaKey was mapped to the control key prior to that.

I've attached a patch that simply includes the event.ctrlKey in the check.
