Allow 'Open link in new tab' right-click option for elements and buttons in new Admin Refresh Experience.

Currently, in Absorb, you can right-click and select 'Open link in new tab' for different elements and buttons within Absorb. In the new Admin Refresh, this feature has been removed due to new WCAG complience for accessibility from what I've been told by Absorb.


Below is an example of a proceedure I go through that would affect productivity with the new change in Admin Refresh.


For example, If you needed to quickly adjust multiple courses and wanted to open them all at once in your browser to complete the task and quickly move through each course o make and save the changes; the Original procedure I follow is:

  1. Go to Absorb Admin site.

  2. Open Course page.

  3. Search for and select the course.

  4. Right-click the "Edit Course" button and select 'Open link in new tab'.

  5. Repeat from Step 3 until all courses are loaded in your browser's tabs.

The new process in Admin Refresh is as follows:

  1. Go to Absorb Admin site.

  2. Open course page.

  3. Search for and select course.

  4. Click on the "Edit Course" button.

  5. Open a new tab within browser.

  6. Repeat from Step 1. until all courses are loaded in your browser's tabs.

This is a procedure I use when I'm required to edit a large number of courses (10 or more).

Although these extra few steps don't seem like a lot of time, when needing to edit settings or content within 50 or more courses, this can add a significant amount of extra time.


There has to be a way to allow these elements and buttons to be WCAG compliant while still allowing the ability to right-click to open them in a new tab.

    This is a huge disappointment when we switched to the refreshed experience, I used to be able to batch work and complete multiple processes much faster, but now I'm at a quarter of the speed just because of the added steps.
