Problem
We link to Discover in many different ways and places several of which break basic internet/interaction conventions such as to Ctrl+click to open in a new tab.
Proposed UX
links to Discover should not open in a new tab, by default
if a user wants to open in a new tab, then they can Ctrl+click... (i.e. don't break ctrl+click browser capabilities)
Dependency (?) → we need a basic, fundamental link in the Discover UI to return to where you came from. Yes, it is tall order to keep all the context... maybe a V1 doesn't do all that, but it would be better than nothing at all mixed with the inconsitency we have today (this issue; some do some do not; some Ctrl+click is broken).

from Dashboard, different label, opens in new tab (should use Discover app icon?)
from Lens, opens in a new tab
