New Lightning UI

Struggling a bit with the new Lightning UI and a few short comings. 

Wondered if anyone had found any work arounds ? 

By far the biggest issue I have is clicking links and not being able to open them in a new browser tab. As standard when working, I am forever holding Cmd down (probably ALT on windows) to open a document in a new tab of my browser. I often want to open several documents or settings all in different tabs (for a million different reasons). Since everything moved to JS, there are no <A> tags on the page, only JS events, so you don't get the option when right clicking on links to open in a new tab (or if you do, it tries to open a javascript statement and fails), its all now behaving like a single page application, but one that is worse than the prior classic UI. 

Does anyone else know a way around this? 

Other minor frustrations -
1)  there doesn't seem to be an icon to refresh views - you have to re-load the whole page (slow). 
2) Breadcrumbs are largely absent - so its not easy to go back to the last place you were. 
3) Its extra clicks to open tabs (I can't believe they didn't make the home navigator customisable from day 1). 

I am sure they will get there with the new UI and I am sure it will be great when they do, but feeling as though I might advise my clients to "hang on a bit" before switching.
