When I try to open a notification in a new tab by using CTRL+click, Phabricator opens the notification in the current tab.
If I try middle button of the mouse, it does nothing at all.
Tested using Firefox 33 on Linux.

I am not able to reproduce this on Firefox 33 / Mac or Windows. We just use plain old anchor tags there, nothing magical.
I understand what you're saying, but it was the intended design when I read the comments. The offending code is at https://secure.phabricator.com/diffusion/P/browse/master/webroot/rsrc/js/application/aphlict/behavior-aphlict-dropdown.js;12f3f6d3a9ef9c7731051815846810cb3c4cd248$87 if you're interested in supplying a patch, we'd take a look at it. Overall it'd be hard for us to provide this feature in any reasonable timeframe given it's relative impact.
But why make it inconsistent?
I don't believe it's intentionally inconsistent, just that it was added as a convenience and things no one thought of were not tested.
I'm happy to keep this as a bug if you like, but I can't give it any real priority. If you would be able to submit a patch, that would be awesome of course. T4778 explains in better detail how we work on resolving issues.
