Middle-click a link to open a new tab. I can't force a link to open in the same window but I can with new tabs.

Sometimes it's easier to follow a link, have a look, and then go back without jumping around tabs.

If only mouse manufacturers would use middle click buttons that are designed for more than occasional use.
wow, always right clicked then clicked open in new tab. Middle click now saves me one click - thanks!
I always bind a side button on my gaming mice to ctrl+click so that my thumb can open links in a new tab. Slight ergonomic improvement for me.
ctrl+click works too!
