Use "CTRL + Shift + right click" to select multiple links and then click on any of them to open them all. Possible?
Hi,
I know that in FireGestures, there is a "Key press" gesture which can randomly select multiple links and open them all. But what I'm looking for is to use "CTRL + Shift + right-click" to randomly select multiple links straight from the web page (selection may be indicated by a special color), and then left-click on any of the selected links to open them all to background tabs, or right-click to show the context menu for links.
I have been dreaming for this since the beginning of the Web. Is that feasible?

I can do that with the Text Link extension.
Select the first text link with Shift or Ctrl and the left mouse button.
Use the Ctrl key and the left mouse button to select the next links and use "Open All in New Tabs" to open all selected links.
That will only work with real http (text) links, otherwise you would need to extract the links.
Thank you for replying.
I used Text Link before, which is really good extension. But I now use the Linkify Plus user script to transform text links into clickable one.
The links are just as easy clickable with the text link extension without the need to transform them.
I use it all the time with text files that I use on this forum to store links if I want to open a link to inspect the content.
I've just found that Likify Plus does not work with pure text files.
Text Link installed again!
