Javascript and a href

Let's suppose that I have the following dropdown after the last div, a dropdown menu appears once he clicks.

<div id="test"> <a href="clickthrough.php">Arrow</a> </div>

I want the user to be able to click on this element and the dropdown appear but also if he mid clicks to be able to open this link directly in a new tab. In other words I want to prevent the default action onclick but still show the link of the element on hover or whatever.

Thank you

with jquery 1.7+

$('#test a').on('click', function (e) {
  if (e.which < 2) { // left mouse button
    e.preventDefault();
    // and code to show dropdown
  }
});

<div id="test"> <a href="clickthrough.php" onclick="FunctionForOpeningLink();return false;">Arrow</a> </div>
