How to open a page in a new tab when the option to do so is not available?

How do I open a link in a new window or tab if the page that I am on is a flash page?
Normally, when I want to open a link in a new tab or window, just right-click on it and make that selection or click the right and left mouse buttons simultaneously (I'm using Firefox 3 and Windows XP). But, it seems that I am running into more and more commerce sites that are fancy-flash, and when I right-click on links from these pages, I do not get the option to open the page in a new tab. For example, this Etsy Treasury page. Go on, try right-clicking on those links. No option to open in a new tab! Is there some workaround for this? It annoys me terribly.

But I agree, that is BAD design for that kind of page.
