I use the standard Firefox keyboard shortcuts and they work fine here: <click> on a link opens in the current tab (unless forced elsewhere by web site), <CTRL><click> will open in a new tab, <SHIFT><click> in a new window (both leave the focus on the original tab but you can change that in Options) otherwise <RIGHT><click> will bring up a menu

I assume you mean "external link" not "link" - opening all links in a new tab would be an absolute mess, and open in the same tab is the most sensible default because users can override at click time and the <Back> and <Forward> indexes are (more) correctly maintained

and if you do find an option for the board please make it optional

Based on your post, it already is optional.
