window.opener in NN7

If i open a link either by using the right mouse menu "open in new window"
or press shift (IE) on the link the page will be opened in a new window.
From this window I can use the window.opener object to access the opening
window.

When doing this in NN7.1 I cannot access windows.opener. If I open the
window with window.open I can also use the window.opener to access the
opening window but not if I open the new window by pressing CTRL an clicking
the link or using right click "Open link in new window".

Is it only possible to access the window.opener if the window was opened
with window.open in NN7?

Regards
/Hans

Neither Netscape 4 nor Netscape 7 set the opener property if the user
opened the window by choosing "open link in new window".
