when using "use:link" middle click will not work

See original GitHub issue

When using the “use:link” option and i want to open the link in a new tap (middle click in the mouse) it will open as /book/321 instead of /#/book/321.

<a href="/book/321" use:link>The Little Prince</a>

@TorstenDittmann thanks for the PR.

I’ve been thinking about this, and I’m wondering if the best way would actually be to change the handler so it actually modifies the href element rather than waiting for a click? Otherwise, we’d have to support a lot of cases, such as middle button click, right-click and then “open in new tab”, etc…

Thoughts?

I think this is the same issue?

<a href="/line/{line.id}" use:link>

When I control or shift click, to open in a new tab or new window, it just opens it in the same tab.

If I use <a href="#/line/{line.id}"> then it seems the router works properly and there’s no extra page loads from a full refresh.

Is this a bug to be fixed?
