Confirmed, it seems the open-in-tab (right click, or 'open in new tab')
is going to have to map to;

As you pointed out in the next message, the ajax link is worthless.

In fact, defaulting to the link I pointed out, and then overriding that link
with the ajax/ context on left-click (open in current context) would make so
much more sense! Drives me nuts that copying links has never worked.
FYI the mod_mbox discussion is on dev@httpd.apache.org, so I've redirected
your inquiry there :)
