Ctrl+click on hyperlinks in PDF files

Is it possible to add a setting for hyperlinks in PDF files to jump only when using Ctrl Click?
The current mode of clicking to open hyperlinks directly is easy to misuse.

    Why exactly the current behavior is an issue?

    In order to avoid some misoperation. For example, there are the following two sentences :
    This is a test (author, year). Fig1show that this is a test (author, year).
    If I want to select the second sentence. I must be very careful to click between the first " (author, year)" and "Fig 1", even before the first " (author, year)" . It is easy to cause misoperation.
    Moreover, the page is full of all kinds of jump links: journal names, DOI, pictures, annotations, figure1, email, references, recommended papers etc. You must be careful when clicking the mouse to avoid these traps. If it is a touch screen, it will be even worse. Making it hard to put your hands on the screen.
    Of course, some people like the current way of opening hyperlinks, but I hope Zotero can provide a new and more conservative way of opening hyperlinks.
