You can not detect that, but you can detect the ctrl + click, cmd + click etc. something like this.

HTML

<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="mainController">
  <a href="javascript:void(0);" href="javascript:void(0);" ng-click="clickevent($event)">Opentab</a> 
</div>

JS

var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
  app.controller("mainController", function($scope) {
        $scope.clickevent = function($event){
          if (event.ctrlKey || event.shiftKey || event.metaKey || $event.which == 2) {
            alert("aa");
          }

        }
    });

Hope it help, Cheers :)
