    I am in Package Management (Revo 2.2.10)

    I click the + beside a package name to see info and great, there's a link to the documentation page.

    (see attached screenshot for an example docs link)

    But,

    I can't right-click to open it in another tab
    I can't select and copy the link to manually paste into my address box.

    The only way to get to the link is to left-click and open the page in the same tab (ie leave the manager),
    or, to write the URL down on a piece of paper and type it into the address box in a new tab.

    Can anybody suggest a smarter way for me to open links to package docs without losing my open manager window?

      You can use the "view details" button, which will give you the "readme", which should have the same URL that you can copy/paste into another tab or window.

      Even so, there's a good argument that those links should be opened in a new tab or window. I believe this is taken from the "manifest.php" file of the package, but that has no real bearing on exactly how the text is presented. I haven't been able to unsnarl the ExtJS/Smarty code that actually generates that part of the package management screen.

        You can also use the shortcut key to open in a new tab / window on left click, not sure what it is on a windows machine but on a mac its cmd + left click
