Comment (by pulkomandy):
Well, we can change the context menu in WebKit so that's not exactly the
problem. The problem is the WebKitLegacy API doesn't have (that I know) a
distinction between tabs and windows. When you want to open a link you can
specify "use this same tab/window", "use a new one", or "this is a
download, don't open anything", and that's it.
I'm not sure Safari even used the WebKit1 API itself, this API was
introduced for iOS apps to embed a web view or something like that and
Safari probably did use more direct access to the WebKit internals. Which
we could do as well, but at this point we should just shitch to WebKit2
and do this once we have migrated.
