Middle click on a link bypasses External Link Warning
Summary
When I middle click/scroll wheel click/mouse button 3 click a link, the link automatically opens in the browser window. This bypasses the External Link Warning that shows up when you click on a link normally. I would expect the External Link Warning to show up as it has not been marked as a trusted site by the user
repost of Issue #399 that was closed with V2, issue still persists in desktop client at least.
Steps to reproduce
find a link in a server or DM that has not been set to Trusted in the External Link Warning dialouge
middle click the link
the website opens in your browser with no warnings
