In Firefox and MSIE, if you ctrl-click a link, it'll open in a new tab or new window.

However w/ the EO tabstrip, doing this to a tab doesn't seem to do anything. Even right clicking on a tab doesn't give you the "open in new tab" or "open in new window" link.
Is there a way to set up the tabs on a tab strip so that the browser thinks it's a link so that it can be opened in a new window?

This almost works.
When you ctrl-click on a tab, it opens in a new tab as expected now, but it still switches tabs in the original window. So I added this OnClickScript to the tabitem:
<eo:TabItem ItemID="Standard" Text-Html="Standard Data" OnClickScript="return false;" />

Now it does stop the tab from switching. However, it also throws an error in MSIE:
'return' statement outside of function eo_web.ashx?id=17066740-6abe-49f4-95c2-ae941ad8dfbf, line 6 character 15633

If I run MSIE w/ the debugger, it stops at this eval:
;if(this.aze)eval(this.aze);if(eo_GetEventInfo().

Is there any way to keep the tab from switching in the EO tabstrip UI?

Thanks...magic incantation was:

<eo:TabItem ItemID="Standard" Text-Html="Standard Data" OnClickScript="eo_CancelEvent();" />

In case anyone else needs to do this :-)
