[🐛 Bug]: Not able to open the url in the new tab using Actions Class

[SharmaSalil]

What happened?

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

    driver.get("https://rahulshettyacademy.com/AutomationPractice/");

    driver.manage().window().maximize();

    WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(20));

    System.out.println("Click on the Url to open in New Tab");

    wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//a[@class='blinkingText']")));

    Actions action = new Actions(driver);

    WebElement link = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@class='blinkingText']"));

    action.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).moveToElement(link).click().build().perform();

    wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//p[contains(@class, 'red')]//a")));

    driver.quit();

    This is not working !! It should open the link in the new tab but i guess it is clicking contextClick()

How can we reproduce the issue?

WebElement link = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@class='blinkingText']"));
action.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).moveToElement(link).click().build().perform(); 

By running this code
