hello,

can you please help me in opening a link in new tab using right click?

I want to open a link present in a web email in new tab. I tried to get the link using getAttribute of href but somehow it is coming as an incorrect link. So now I am trying other way round to right click on the link and select option of ‘open the link in new tab’ or ‘copy the link address’.  
I am able to automate right click but not able to automate selecting the option. Can you please guide me here?
