Using middle-click or CTRL+Right-click on the extension card area opens the extension page in a new tab

[dceban]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open addons.mozilla main page.
2. Scroll to the "Featured extensions" section (or any section that has addons cards).
3. Hover over any extension's area (but not its title).
4. Try to open it in a new tab page using the middle click or CTRL+Click

Actual results: Extension page opened in the same tab.

Expected results: Open the extension page in a new tab.

This appears to be due to not using a link around the block level content.

@bobsilverberg I verified this on AMO dev with FF72(Win10).

• using the middle click or CTRL+Click will open the add-ons in a new tab.

• I filed https://github.com/mozilla/addons/issues/13675 which could be e regression because right now it is not reproducible on AMO stage.

We had to back out the change that fixed this as we discovered that it created nested anchor tags. A different solution will need to be devised for this.

hey @bobsilverberg i want to work again on this issue.

[bobsilverberg]

Ok @TheSTL, go ahead. @mirefly made a suggestion about a different approach to this at https://github.com/mozilla/addons/issues/13676. I think it's going to be a bit tricky because of the recommended badge, but please feel free to give it a try.

@bobsilverberg I checked on AMO stage - this doesn't look reverted to me.
