using a macbook mouse pad how do i open a page in a new tab?

right this is a bit weird to explain so bare with me.

using a macbook with the large track pad mouse thing, ie no buttons, and using the latest version of snow leopard, how can i - using the mouse only - open a page in a new tab in safari, just like middle mouse button does on a windows pc using a traditional hand held mouse ?

sorry for the over complicated explination, its a hard one to explain when drunk and try a macbook for the first time.

Also - it just underlined explination, - there it goes again - as i have spelt it wrong, how to i using the mouse / mouse and keyboard click that underlined word to correct it?

macbooks are complicated!

i mean a link on a page like if i clicked on your name, which would open your profile, and i want to open it in a new tab

hold cmd + left click link

without touching the keyboard - can i not do it one handed, like three fingers click or something
