I'm looking for a command which I can use in a mouse gesture or
keyboard shortcut.

I want to open the page I am viewing (or a link I have selected) in
a new Opera WINDOW.

(1) The following help page says there is a gesture to "right click
the link and drag down". But that opens the link in a new TAB not a
new window.

(2) In Prefs > Advanced > Shortcuts, I can set the middle click
button to "Open link in new window" but nothing happens when I use
middle click on a link.

Edit the GestureDown shortcut and make it this:

Open link in new window | New browser window

Maybe you've set the mouse software to send something else than 'third
button' when middle-clicking? Shift+Middle-click should open that
preference dialog, just a middle-click on a webpage should start the
autoscroll feature.
