Improve opening all bookmarks in folder in address bar

Vlad

DaphneDi Cna you record a video of what you mean. I can open a folder of bookmarks on my bookmarks bar by left clicking so things do not compute.

Vlad When I mouse click on a folder with 4 folders of bookmarks in the bookmarks bar, the bottom item of 'Open in New Tabs' is grayed out and not actionable. 'Open in New Tabs' is actionable in a folder in the bookmarks bar when it contains just bookmarks. Command-clicking on the folder in the bookmarks bar that contains the 4 folders of bookmarks does result in all bookmarks opening in tabs.

I set up a test profile with the following bookmarks. And tried right clicking (two finger click on trackpad) in both ways to get the favorites windows to open.

DaphneDi Just a single click should open these?

For comparision here's Safari, while it doesn't support right click in the dropdown from the address bar it does support Command Click to open all.

DaphneDi

Should be able to either right click or command-click to open them.... single/left click should just show the individual bookmarks, which currently works.

Interesting looks like quicktime color codes the types of clicks, so black/white circle is normal click, green circle is right click and orange circle is command click.

I am afraid I am at loss what the ask is. Entering bookmark folder is possible with a single click as it should be.

I believe this is a better explanation:

From start page, you can right click on favorites.

If you are on a non-startpage, you can click on the address bar to also show the favorites, as a dropdown on the address bar. (shown at t=0:02)
But, right clicking is not possible. (safari also doesn't support right clicking here)

But, safari does support cmd-click to open all bookmarks in the folder.
Orion just displays the contents of the folder. (shown at t=0:03)

See video:

The actual feature request, from my understanding, is to make cmd-click on a folder open all bookmarks in the folder in new tabs.

eirk Thanks. it looks sensible title for this post should be "Mid-click should open all bookmarks in a bookmark folder"?

Vlad Meant to type tabs but slipped and typed tags. Eirk's explanation is what I'm requesting. Being able to open up a bookmark folder as a set of tabs all at once.
