hi watir and rubyer,  
i am currently trying watir features.  
is ruby or watir support **shift-click** (open in new window)  
or right click then pointing to open in new window?  
i searched both terms on this groups,  
seems like having no discuss like this.  
i also search google  
and i found stuff asking about right click pointing.  
the solution is maybe autoit?

so,  
does watir give “shift-click”?

add some notes on other tools  
i’ve tried greasemonkey on firefox  
it utilizes javascript to get this feature in

GM\_openInTab(Link.href)

we know IE has no new tab(IE7 will put this in),  
so i have only choice to open in new windows
