Modus Side Nav: option to replace click handlers with anchor tags and URLs

[gabriel-piltzer-trimble]

Prerequisites

• I have searched for duplicate or closed feature requests
• I have read the Modus style guidelines

Proposal

Users want to be able to middle mouse click or right click and open in new tab from the navigation. For this to work we need anchor tags with URLs in nav <li>. I propose an optional way to swap the provided click handlers with anchor tags.

Motivation and context

Make the modus side nav more user friendly for opening links.
