When I use <a href="some url" target="_blank"> and when the user clicks the corresponding link, new tab opens and the user is directed to the new tab.

I want that new tab should open but user should remain on the previous tab only. In other words I want to emulate the Ctrl+click (or Cmd+click in Mac) behaviour.

Are there any such values for target attribute or are there any other attribute which can set such property to the links (<a ...>)?
