Description
The image carousel should respect traditional control and middle click behavior on images by opening them in a new tab. Jumping directly to the image is an especially frustrating behavior because the gallery is the perfect venue to view all images in an article but it's impossible to "quick bookmark" an image in the carousel by opening them in a new tab for later "subset inspection". The user must either duplicate the tab or go back to the article and middle click there instead.
Steps to reproduce
- Go to the Notre Dame de Paris English Wikipedia article
- Tap on the image captioned "The spire and east side of the cathedral"
- Control or middle click on the image
Expected results
Image opens in a new tab. This is the standard browser behavior on most websites including Wikipedia articles
Actual results
Image opens in the same tab and the carousel has to back buttoned to and reloaded
