Make menuItems in Lookup linkable so items can be opened in another tab by right clicking on them
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Problem:
Right-clicking or control-clicking on individual entries in Wikit selectors do not open them in a new window unlike other selectors in Wikidata. This is important to have as it allows me to get more information for selecting the correct entry.
We should take over this behaviour from our existing selectors.

BDD
GIVEN an entity selector
WHEN control-clicking on an individual entry in the selector result list
THEN the entity is opened in a new window/tab

Acceptance criteria:

  • wikit selectors let me open their entries in new windows/tabs

This ticket is no longer relevant because we're deprecating our legacy design system, WiKit (See T327532). Codex's TypeaheadSearch displays this behavior. Lookup doesn't, but I'm sure this is something we can customize in-app when reusing said component.
