How to detect browser back button click on a new tab ( with middle click ) in JavaScript

I want to detect when the user clicks the back button on a browser with middle click - resulting in opening in a new tab. I'm not using any libraries or frameworks other than jquery.

When the user clicks the back button ( with a left click ) he should be navigated back a page.

When the user clicks the back button ( middle click ) a new tab should be opened but should open in the same page.

I've found the following js code which 'reloads' the page but I cannot make it so that I can go back with a regular back button click

if (window.history && window.history.pushState) {
    window.history.forward();
}
