Middle-click in Collection-cell: multiple issues

What could be better?

In my music Collection there is a Relation Property that links to a Page about the artist.

What I want: A middle-click on the Collection's cell with the artist should open the related Page (about the artist).

What happens instead:

  1. The middle-click does not open anything! But it should open the Page about the artist!
  2. Second attempt: A right click on the cell, followed by "Open in new tab" doesn't open the expected Page about the artist. Instead, it opens the page that contains the song. --> I would expect this behavior only for a click on the title of the song, but not if performed on the cell that contains the artist.
  3. Third attempt: First a left click on the cell with the artist, followed by a middle-click --> that works, but it is a little cumbersome.
  4. Fourth attempt (not shown in the video): First a left click on the cell with the artist, followed by a right-click and then choosing "Open in new tab" from the context menu --> that way does the same wrong thing as described in point 1. --> it opens the Page with the song instead of the Page about the artist.

Requested behavior:

A middle-click on a Relation Property should open the related target.
(In this example: the Page about the artist.)

(My video shows only the points 1, 2 and 3 of my list above, to make it less confusing.)

Thanks for the detailed breakdown — the video and steps really help. We can see the issue: middle-click and right-click → "Open in new tab" on a relation cell both navigate to the row's page instead of the linked target, which is the opposite of what should happen.

To move this forward, a couple of clarifications:

  1. Does left-click work as expected? (I assume it opens the artist page, since you mention left-click + middle-click is your current workaround — just confirming.)
  2. Does this happen with all relation properties, or only this artist link? If you have other relation columns in your music collection, do they behave the same way, or is it specific to that one?

That'll help us narrow whether this is a general relation-cell nav bug or something specific to how that property is configured.
