Answer 1

"right click on the link and then open that link in new window" this is the browser feature not the page feature.. that why you not able to record it in IDE.

If you wanna know about recording right click, try click here

Answer 2

You can Press Ctrl key and click on the link so that it gets opened in a new tab.

For using control key in Selenium IDE use the below keywords.

controlKeyDown ( ) 

//code for clicking the link

controlKeyUp ( ) 

Answer 3

您可以获取该链接的 href 属性，然后使用 openWindow() 命令在新窗口中打开它。

Answer 4

Following opens the URL in a new tab, if you've configured Firefox to open new tabs instead of new windows.

storeAttribute | link-locator-here | myURLvariableName |
getEval | window.open( storedVars.myURLvariableName, '_blank' /* or tab target name*/ ); |

Answer 5

After spending a couple of days for research, I finally found the way to simulate Right-click in Selenium IDE through the execute script command:

const el = document.querySelector('CSS_SELECTOR_GOES_HERE');

const eventContextMenu = new MouseEvent('contextmenu', {
    bubbles: true,
});

el.dispatchEvent(eventContextMenu);

The trick here is that bubbles: true is required param.
