Support for MacOS Force Touch to open link in new tab

Reported by sam.lb.h...@gmail.com, Nov 26 2017 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Use a Mac with a force touch enabled trackpad.
2. Force Touch a link.

What is the expected behavior?
Link opens in a new tab

What went wrong?
Nothing happens until your release the click. Afterwards, the current tab is redirected to the same link.

Did this work before? No

Able to reproduce the issue on the reported chrome version 61.0.3163.100 and on the latest canary 64.0.3279.0 using Mac 10.13.1. As the issue is seen from M50(50.0.2634.0) treating it as non-regression hence marking it as untriaged.

[Mac triage] Safari works this way, but I'd consider it a feature request. shrike@, thoughts on whether we should adopt this?

[Triage] Bumping next action til after new year. (FWIW, I think we should do it)

Comment 10 by sam.lb.h...@gmail.com, Dec 17 

For what it's worth, Safari's behavior doesn't need to be replicated. I only suggest that the open link in new tab behavior be implemented when force touch is used on a link. It's an intuitive feature addition, and will improve the user experience by removing the need to use the command key for the same action.
