What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
In my experience many search bars allow the user to ctrl + click a suggested result that drops down from the search bar as the user types, allowing them to open it in a new tab. As far as I can tell, this functionality is not supported on WA. This makes navigating through a world more cumbersome, as it is difficult to get multiple view tabs open at once. A common use case I find myself in is while I am running a game, I will have my session notes open, then I will need to quickly access an unrelated article, so I search for it. It comes up in the suggested results, and I ctrl + click to open in a new tab, only to have my current tab navigate to the new page, moving me away from my session notes. Notably, google search does not support this functionality, though I would describe WA search as more similar to a fandom wiki search bar, which suggests actual articles, not common searches.How does this feature request address the current situation?
Adding this functionality would allow the user to easily open multiple tabs of articles from the search bar, resulting in cleaner and less cumbersom world navigation.What are other uses for this feature request?
N/AThe Team's Response
This suggestion has not reached the voting response threshold This suggestion encourages a way of using WA which is unsafe for the security of the data of all users. There is tooling (Reviewer Widget) which allows for the above.

I feel this suggestion is really going the wrong way about it. Also, the search on the panel does allow you to use ctrl or middle click to open on another window.
