245344 - new feature: save target as -- for all marked links

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 200267

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, enhancement)

Description

[abraendle]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Feedreader)
Build Identifier: 

you should be able to mark some text containing a number of links and (similar 
to basic web-spider functionality) download the documents the links point to.

i propose this for the first two actions: 
save link(s) target as... (for example if there are pdf-files)
save page(s) as... (the htmlpages+pictures)
perhaps also: open as new tab(s)..

this would be extremely useful, imho

(note that a webspider usually does not support marking for example just 5 
links)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
