Win7 Taskbar - Middle click opens New Window

With IE8 (maybe IE7 too) I can middle-click the icon on the Windows 7 taskbar and it will open a new IE window if there is already one or more IE instances open. This allows me to start a new session of related tabs...useful for when I already have several tabs open on one topic and don't want to mix in a new set of tabs. Not trying to justify the New Windows feature...that already exists...but it would be very handy if Opera supported the middle mouse button (usually a scroll wheel button click) on the Windows 7 taskbar to open new windows.

Also maybe a CNRTL + middle-click for opening a new private window (windows with a new private tab)...or some similar key combination.

That sounds like a handy feature. I don't have Windows 7 yet but it would certainly be convenient. Thanks for sharing!
