Lets you middle-click elements carrying a data-href to open them in a new tab.

  if (e.button !== 1) { return; }
  var el = e.target.closest('[data-href], [onclick]');
  if (!el || el.closest('a[href]')) { return; }
  var href = el.getAttribute('data-href');
  if (href) {
    e.preventDefault();
    window.open(href, '_blank', 'noopener');
  }
});
