ctrl + left click is a good alternative, but target=”_blank” is better.

This really would be great to be the default for link opening, rather than having to work around it with keyboard or browser settings etc
If using a desktop (or anything woth a mouse) middle click opens in a new tab on most browsers. This works on ALL links, not just on a site-by-site basis
Same can be done without a mouse using ctrl+click on Windows and Linux (usually), or cmd+click on macOS.
Two-finger tap also works on mobile Safari.
