@Massimo,

Is it possible to alter your wiki-settings so that links to ex-( or internal) links are displayed in a new tab please?
I elaborate: If answering questions and you have to lookup info / sources / examples, using the threads here, it's quite cumbersome to navigate...
Clicking a link opening a new tab in your browser seems more comfortable to me...

Even with inline pictures: clicking them while editing your answer text ... darn - already had to typo multiple phrases again and again.
If it would have opened in a new window, you could [ctrl]+[tab] to view, type, review, type and so on...

My 2 cts

With Chrome, at least, you can click on a link with the mouse wheel and it will open a new tab....
Easy peasy

@GGGss: I guess you mean the forum.

Middle-clicking works in every major browser, as does holding Ctrl while clicking (at least on Windows and Linux, I don't know about Mac OS). On most laptop touchpads, a middle click can be emulated by tapping with three fingers at once.
