Dock icon "new" menu should default to new window

For one, I can't imagine a single case where I want to open a new tab by right-clicking on the dock icon. On the other hand, I often switch to a new space which doesn't currently have iTerm in it and I want to open up a new iTerm window.
Right-clicking on the dock icon is the quickest way to do so, as switching to the iTerm app will send me back to another space where I will then have to create the window and move it to the space where I actually want it.
If the default was create a new window, and holding alt let it be a new tab, I think the option would be much more sane.
