A new version was uploaded which includes the hotkey "T" to open a new tab and you can toggle that option on in the settings page. However, I couldn't find a way yet to prevent the new tab to be considered as a pop up for the browser. This means you need permission for the site your are using to allow pop ups.
If pop ups are not allowed for the current site, more clicks would be needed to open the new tab and it'd be better to just use the floating link.
