Selenium webdriver in Java - selenium-webdriver

Question

I'm trying to right click a link in a web page and open it in a new window with context click method of Action class. Below is the code which I got from few references. But this doesn't work. Can someone help to find out what is the mistake I'm doing here?
package webDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;
public class RightClick {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
{
String baseUrl = "https://www.google.com";
System.setProperty("WebDriver.gecko.driver","C://geckodriver");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get(baseUrl);
WebElement select = driver.findElement(By.linkText("About"));
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
builder.contextClick(select).perform();
builder.sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);
}
}
Is there any other way to do this?
Thanks in Advance

Try the below code your problem will be solved,Its working I have tried it for you,Kindly revert back if you have got it.
public class Demo {
public static void main(String[] args) throws AWTException {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir")+"/Drivers/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.co.in/?gfe_rd=cr&dcr=0&ei=sxWqWoDHL6SwX7PXjaAH");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
WebElement element=driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='fsl']/a[3]"));
String linkToOpen= element.getAttribute("href");
System.out.println(linkToOpen);
Robot r = new Robot();
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_T);
r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_T);
//To switch to the new tab
ArrayList<String> tabs = new ArrayList<String>(driver.getWindowHandles());
driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(1));
//To navigate to new link/URL in 2nd new tab
driver.get(linkToOpen);
}
}

When we click a link while pressing Shift key, the resulting link generally opens in new window.
See if this helps:
WebElement link = driver.findElement(By.linkText("About"));
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
builder.keyDown(Keys.SHIFT).click(link).keyUp(Keys.SHIFT).build().perform();
