Bug description

I have received two independent complaints from users that they thought that is impossible to open a file in a new tab in Nextcloud. You can actually do it with a middle or ctrl click, but it seems many users don't know the trick.

Since Nextcloud takes over the right-click menu, I believe it should include an Option to open in a new tab as well.
