Hello David,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I looked into the issue. Your suggestion makes a lot of sense, and it looks like the simple solution you propose would indeed work. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’ve assigned the issue to myself and targeted it to JDK 26. Thanks for the reminder, and sorry for letting the request linger for such a long time!</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace">I am the original submitter of the following feature enhancement -- <a href="https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8284499">https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8284499</a>.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace"><br>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace">Long story short, the feature enhancement is asking for the ability to open Javadoc search results in a new tab. Preferably through Ctrl+Click and/or Right-Click-Context-Menu.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace">I was looking at the source code for it, and I realized that we could achieve an 80/20 solution regarding my linked feature enhancement, simply by making the search results on the Javadoc search page
links. As in, literal <a href> links.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace">- A link is Ctrl+clickable</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace">- A link has the right click context menu, allowing you to make a new tab</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace">It looks like the only code that would need to change besides making them links is making sure Ctrl+Click does not clash with the onclick behaviour. But that should be super trivial to implement.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace">Anyways, I wanted to hear opinions on it. Does the feature enhancement itself makes sense? And if so, would it be feasible/realistic to handle it with my idea above?</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace">Thank you for your time.</div>
