function gotolink(url) {
        if (HERE THE CHECK FOR THE CTRL BUTTON){
           window.open(url,'_blank');
        }
        else{
            location.href = url;
        }
    }

I don't know how to make the check. Could you help me?

function gotolink(url, event) {
  console.log(event.ctrlKey);
  if (event.ctrlKey) {
    window.open(url, '_blank');
  }
}

<button onclick="gotolink('google.com',event)">test</button>
