That's definitely possible. I generally expect a mouse click to select the window I click and this feels counter intuitive. I think that some people might like an option "open this link in a new window" but I would guess that would like that whether they clicked or pressed RET on the button. >> 'action `(lambda (arg) >> (notmuch-show ,(third link))) > Can you (or someone) explain why backquote is needed here?

I think this is a reasonably standard use: we want "(third link)" to be evaluated when the button is made, but we want the rest of the action to be evaluated when the action is called.
