I often find myself opening 5+ bookmarks at the same occasion. Doing this is in the way the bookmarks menu combined with how the tab focus works now is very annoying.

There's currently an option for opening bookmarks in a new tab on right-click. The current behavior for that is ok, it closes the bookmark menu and opens a new tab. But, I really want/NEED an option for opening them in the background without closing the bookmarks menu. That would be clicking with the mouse-wheel. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the bookmarks menu.
2. Try opening several bookmarks.
3. This takes a lot of extra time, since you have to open the bookmarks menu each time.
Actual Results:  
The bookmarks menu closes, which makes it impossible to open several bookmarks quickly.

Expected Results:  
The bookmarks menu should stay open when using the mouse-wheel so that you quickly can open several bookmarks in new tabs.
