Doesn't seem to work with modifier keys.

Does control-shift click not work for you?

Ah, TWO modifiers. Thanks, it works. I couldn't find this in the documentation.

If you're using RC2, you can change this default in the Parallels preferences.
I do not like those green links and spam.

I don't have this issue with Parallels. I installed RC1 and subsequently RC2 on a MacBook and configured the trackpad to register a right click with just the tap of two fingers on the trackpad surface. In Parallels this gesture provides the same right-click functionality in a Windows XP Pro SP2 virtual machine. I wonder why having an external mouse with at least two buttons and one button mapped to a right click would be any different.

Using an external mouse to right click on my iMac works as expected in Parallels.
