I’m so used to RES that this is mildly infuriating. I click on a link expecting is to open in the background for review later and instead it opens in the current tab obliterating my current position. Hitting back will get me to approximately the same place I was but it’s usually a whole page behind.
The back going back an extra page feels like a bug that has to get fixed. I usually control+click links to open in a new tab (maybe not exactly what you want, but hopefully helps)
I have been doing this for the most part, but the muscle memory of over a decade of RES is hard to overcome.
