Such a feature should of course not be set as default.

I would set the options to open a new window with left click. I would 
then set the middle click to open the new window and close the oold. 
This far this is the current standard. If I want to use open in same 
window for deep nested paths I have no mouse button left. 

Any idea how I can use both? I think the right mouse button is out of 
question and combining with Ctrl or some other key is probably too 
complicated.
