On the /connections page, Ctrl + click or cmd + click should open connections in a new tab

This is not high priority, but a small quality of life request :slightly_smiling_face:

Is it possible to allow users to ctrl+click on the connections in the <https://cloud.airbyte.io/workspaces/bed3b473-1518-4461-a37f-730ea3d3a848/connections|connection page> to open them in a new tab? I find myself trying to do this often to compare settings between connections.

I'd like to add a related thought here, but maybe it's more appropriate as a separate ticket.

Currently we have some "nested interactions" that I find both error-prone and not very clear for the user:

nested actions

I think this is a consequence of making the whole row clickable. I think we should move away from making rows of our tables clickable, since they generally include more than one interactive element. I would be in favor of something more like this:

This would be a usability improvement (IMO), but definitely an accessibility win and it would also make the requested behavior in this issue (the ability to ctrl + click/cmd + click) much easier to implement!

Moving to the icebox for now because it's not a clear priority
