Currently if a url appears in a response value, it looks like it's clickable. The mouse cursor changes to a hand when hovering it, and the url becomes underlined. However, clicking it either doesn't do anything or puts the value into editing mode (depends on the kind of value - irrelevant). Same for ctrl+click, shift+click and alt+click.
In many applications where regular click is supposed to already do something, it requires the user to ctrl+click to follow the link, so it doesn't interfere with normal clicks. Please implement that. Having a link behave *as if* it's clickable and then be not cickable, feels like someone did a very good but unfinished job.
To reproduce:
- Open the devtools on the Network tab
- Do an XHR request
- Have it return some kind of JSON
- Have it return in that JSON any string that contains a URL
- Select said XHR request on the Network tab
- Select the Response tab
- Open the JSON up to find the vaue that contains a URL
- Try clicking it
Expected result:
Ctrl+clicking it should follow the URL and open it. Probably best to do so in a new tab.
Actual result:
Nothing happens.
