- When holding down the SHIFT+CTRL buttons + click left mouse's button = Edge opens the link in a new tab AND switches to the new tab automatically (which I was looking for)
- (maybe not so useful) When holding down the SHIFT button + click left mouse's button = Edge opens the link in a completely new browser's window
P.S. All the above works for bookmarks as well.
