I find it frustrating that I can't right-click or Ctrl+click a DataTable's "Configure" button. I would rather open a new tab than have to find my way back.

DataTables provides the option to define which element is used for a button, but it seems like some default event-handling prevents the link from working 100% like a link:

        buttons.push(
            {
                tag: "a",
                attr: {
                    href: '/cgi-bin/koha/admin/columns_settings.pl?module=' + table_settings['module'] + '&page=' + table_settings['page'] + '&table=' + table_settings['table']
                },
                className: "dt_button_configure_table",
                fade: 100,
                titleAttr: __("Configure table"),
                text: '<i class="fa fa-lg fa-wrench"></i> <span class="dt-button-text">' + __("Configure") + '</span>',
            }
        );

If you add only the href attribute, right-click and "Open in new tab" works, but a regular click does not, and Ctrl+click does not.

If you include only the "action" event handler function, both right-click plus "Open in new tab" and Ctrl+click do not work, but a regular click does.

If you include both the href attribute and the event handler, Ctrl+click doesn't work.

I wonder if there is a way to override the default event handling so that a regular link can work like a regular link?
