As confirmed in both: source1 source2

there isn't a function that works throughout all browsers. There are options for popups, but this isn't a good idea as many use popup blockers.

To reiterate the first source, it's a browser setting for each user to decide to open a new tab in the background, or not. And because users decide this in their browser settings you will get inconsistent experiences.
