This is a great idea! I just tried command-clicking on the Momentum links to open them in a new tab, and it works! It's not ideal, but definitely workable, and I don't have to the settings.
This was the only reason why I wasn't able to switch to Orion as my main browser, since having those links readily accessible is a key part of my workflow.
It would be great to see this get fixed at some point, but this is good for now. Thanks!
