Open-in-New-Tab behavior inconsistent when opening projects from project list

Summary

When opening a project from the project list, there is inconsistent behavior when attempting to open the group in a new tab. The behavior varies when clicking the anchor versus the container itself.

Steps to reproduce

1. Navigate to project list such as https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/language-tools/go/linters
2. Use Cmd/Ctrl+Click to open project in new tab by clicking project name anchor (happy path)
3. Use Cmd/Ctrl+Click to open project in new tab by clicking project name container (sad path) -> opens in same tab

Example Project

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/language-tools/go/linters

Cmd+Click should open link in new tab
