You could try with an add-on like Keybinder or Key config, but I am not sure the shortcut you want to change can be customized.

If you have a three button mouse with a scroll wheel that can be clicked then you can middle-click the link.

I'm not aware of changing this modifier.

No, it's a Mac magic mouse with 2 buttons....

In some operating systems you can emulate a middle-click by clicking both buttons at the same time. I don't know if Mac supports such a feature.
