Open calendar note in new tab on middle-click

[justincredble]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I wouldn't say it's a problem, rather a potential improvement on the user experience. Elsewhere in Obsidian I can middle-click on a link and have it open in a new tab. However, when I middle-click on a date in the Calendar plugin, the date mimics a mouse click and does nothing. I'm doing this because I rarely want to replace my currently open note with the date that I'm clicking.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to middle-click on a date in the Calendar plugin and have that date's note open in a new tab.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I CTRL-click on a date, but it's a behavior that I have to do specifically for this one plugin. Obsidian and most modern web browsers have this behavior by default, so it would be nice to not have to remember a non-standard action for this plugin.

Additional context
I hope that I phrased it as clearly as I think I did. It's a rather straightforward feature request.

This might work

`
class CalendarPlugin extends obsidian.Plugin {
async onload() {
this.registerView(VIEW_TYPE_CALENDAR, (leaf) => new CalendarView(leaf));

    // Other existing plugin initialization code...

    // Add middle click functionality
    this.addMiddleClickListener();
}

addMiddleClickListener() {
    // Select the calendar element you want to make clickable
    const calendarElement = document.querySelector('.your-calendar-element-selector'); // Update this selector

    if (calendarElement) {
        calendarElement.addEventListener('mousedown', (event) => {
            if (event.button === 1) { // Check if middle mouse button is clicked
                event.preventDefault(); // Prevent default action (if any)
                this.handleMiddleClick(event);
            }
        });
    }
}

handleMiddleClick(event) {
    // Define what should happen on middle click
    console.log("Middle click detected!", event);
    // Implement your desired functionality here...
    // For example, open a new calendar view or perform a custom action.
}

onunload() {
    // Cleanup code when the plugin is unloaded
}

}

Whilst you're waiting though, install Hover Editor Plugin, Hold Ctrl over Calendar Date and it will pop out like so

Thanks @motion2082. Your pseudocode in your first comment looks like what I was proposing. The Hover Editor plugin looks like it might work for some people's use cases as a workaround.

@liamcain : Hi, might it be possible to add @motion2082 code to your plugin ?

Thank you very much.
