How to *-click Open in New Private Window?

Do I need to use third party extension or software like autohotkey for this?

Thanks!

Yes, right-click context menu works but I would like to use the faster keyboard.

How would you expect this to work? You would normally have to use the mouse to click the link unless you the tab key to cycle through links. In that case you can open the context menu via the context menu key on the keyboard (next to the right Ctrl key on most keyboards) and press the appropriate accelerator key (P).

Thanks, yes I use mouse/trackpad and keyboard together. It would work the same as the default Shift-Click to Open Link In New Window. I am just looking for an alternative keystroke for a Private Window instead of (Shift)Non-Private Window or (Ctrl)New Tab.
