I wouldn't bother adding this to the pages. To make it noticeable
you would likely distract from the content of the page. And 'trick
clicking' works differently for different devices anyhow.
You might write a tutorial on the subject as its own page and then
try to publicize it to teach the web at large. But throwing even a
link to it in the introductory to your 'main' content doesn't sound
like a good idea.
One thought is that a user who doesn't already know how to open a
new window/tab may well be confused if you do it for him.
