Requires two hands, but I often find it easier to control-click on links to open in a new tab, and that still works in this case.

I open new tabs with middle click (scroll wheel click). That works too. It also works for closing tabs.

I don't know how I got this far in life without knowing this, thanks

I do this too. CTRL-click to open a new tab.

That is NOT working for me on a Mac.

It's command + click on mac.

Or if you're on a newer laptop, you can press down with two fingers on the touch pad.
