On any observation detail page (e.g. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/28034913 ), doing ctrl+click to open the observations listed in: “More from @ user” “Nearby observations” “Observations of relatives” at the bottom of the page does not open the observation in a new tab. It opens it in t…

CMD-click works fine for me in the latest versions of Safari, FF, and Brave on my Mac - pages open in new tabs. I don’t have a Windows machine, unfortunately.

We’ll take a look at the target="_self" thing next week.

Cool. Hopefully this is resolved.
