Defining a custom hotkey for “Open link under cursor in new window” seems to have the same issue: it uses the default hotkey instead of the user defined hotkey.

What is this?
Hotkeys are keyboard-only, they are not mixed keyboard/mouse.
Maybe you are asking for “customizable mouse event modifiers”. Search/open a FR for that.
