If I right click on a link, I see options "Open link in new tab" and "Open link in new window". What's missing there is "Open link in this tab", to circumvent these pesky websites that configure every single link to open in a new tab/window.

Workaround: Drag the link to the address bar.

Ah yes, the case where the site forces a new tab. That would be a useful option.
