This literally worked.... Thanks for this.

For those who want to know how this works in Canary, just:
- Right Click on Carnary EXE Shortcut, go to Properties
- Go to Shortcut Tab, should be selected already.
- Put this in the Target field...

"C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\Application\msedge.exe" "--enable-features=msFavoritesOpenInNewTabSetting"
Of course the above UserName will be yours.

Start the browser, and the Selection option will be there in Settings under Appearance, already selected.

For now I just right click on the favorite I want to open and then click on open in new tab, Just an extra click so no big deal but yeah definitely we do need a feature to directly open in new tab with left click

    Or, you can middle click if your mouse has a middle button or wheel button.

    Single click, done - no context menu selection needed.

    The only inconvenience is you have to remember to click the middle button instead of the left button.

    You're welcome. 😉
