[Discover] command/ctrl click missed opportunities in discover

[ghudgins]

Describe the feature:

There are a few places where it would be nice to have command + click in discover:

• "Surrounding documents" link in document flyout
• "Single document" link in document flyout
• "Visualize" link in field popover
• Edit visualization icon in histogram
• Explore in lens icon in field statistics
• "New" opens a new browser tab [Discover] Allow command/ctrl click for "New" action in top nav #198887

Describe a specific use case for the feature:
When I see multiple interesting aspects to explore / analyze my data
I need the browser command/control + click function to open links in a new tab
So I can create a set of tabs to review one by one without losing first context

We use ElasticSearch in our daily investigations and frequently need to use the “View Surrounding Documents” feature. Up until this week [8.3.1 upgrade], it was possible to open this link in a new browser tab via the middle mouse button or right-click open in new tab option. This feature now appears to have been removed and it feels like a step backwards. the only way to do this now is to click on the link, wait for the new section to open, copy the url, go back to the original search, open a new tab and paste in the url. This adds up, especially if you need to search through multiple logs. Please re-instate this feature.

We know users commonly open multiple browser tabs when using Kibana. One of those reasons is to conduct simultaneous searches. Today, command/ctrl+click on New does not open a new tab which likely leaves the user with opening a blank tab, copy / paste the url, and then click New.

I've checked and command/ctrl click works with "Surrounding documents" + "Single document"
But it doesn't work with any link to Lens, and I don't think this is a paper cut, because it's implemented with UIActions ... so dear @elastic/kibana-visualizations, any thoughts of how enabling navigating from Discover to Lens in a way it would support browser command/ctrl click opening Lens in a new browser window/tab? thx

Yes there is already an issue about that #112471
It is very simple @kertal. UiActions have an href proprty that you can use in order to work as a link and not as a button

oh, nice, thx Stratoula
