Trackpad Middle click or 3-finger click to open new browser tabs

I can't figure out how to use the "Middle-Click" feature of most browsers to open a new tab.

Can we not use a 3-finger click on links to open in a new tab? The only way I have found is by using a USB or Bluetooth mouse, or Command+Click. Too much work!

Is there a way to middle click, or 3-finger click on the new MBP?

thanks!

I would recommend BTT http://blog.boastr.net/
it's the best and the must have software to apply custom keys to your trackpad and magic mouse.
and it's free
