How do I make EDGE open a new window instead of a tab when I click on a link.
I would simply want to make that the default action.

Hi @John Mikes
Unfortunately, it seems impossible to change the default action of opening a link when you left-click it. You can try right-click a link and choose to open it in a new window. Alternatively, you can press Shift+Left click to open a link in a new window.
