I thought this would be simple, but I've searched previous SuperUser threads and on Google and I cannot find a way to middle-click on a touchscreen in Windows 8.1 (on a Lenovo laptop in my case). I've checked all the control panel settings. There are other options, but nothing for middle-click.
I'd like to be able to use the touchscreen to middle-click on some links to have them open in a new tab (just like I have been doing with a mouse for 15+ years...). Since I'd also like to be able to open other links in the current tab with left-click, changing the link opening options of the browser doesn't solve the issue.
Any ideas?
