Hello @javadoc-dev@openjdk.org <javadoc-dev@openjdk.org>, I am the original submitter of the following feature enhancement -- https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8284499.
Long story short, the feature enhancement is asking for the ability to open Javadoc search results in a new tab. Preferably through Ctrl+Click and/or Right-Click-Context-Menu. I was looking at the source code for it, and I realized that we could achieve an 80/20 solution regarding my linked feature enhancement, simply by making the search results on the Javadoc search page links. As in, literal <a href> links. - A link is Ctrl+clickable - A link has the right click context menu, allowing you to make a new tab It looks like the only code that would need to change besides making them links is making sure Ctrl+Click does not clash with the onclick behaviour. But that should be super trivial to implement. Anyways, I wanted to hear opinions on it. Does the feature enhancement itself makes sense? And if so, would it be feasible/realistic to handle it with my idea above? Thank you for your time. David Alayachew
