Opening Links From Favorites?
Select Settings and more > Favorites
In the Favorites window, right-click the Favorites bar .
Select "Open all", or "Open all in new window" or "Open all in new InPrivate window
You can also right click any link and open in a new tab or window, assuming that the site doesn't disable that option.
Additionally you can hold the Ctrl key and then click the respective link to open it in a new tab. If you want to open the link on a new page, hold the Shift key and click the link.
Bing search also has some settings that let you open search results in a new tab or window without affecting how other links operate.
It's possible that the option to open favorites in a new tab is only available in Edge Canary. I'm not in front of my computer right now and I'm only using Canary at the moment.
Thanks Kevin. I appreciate your feedback.
I am aware of every workaround to opening a link in a new window - by "workaround", I mean any additional interaction that a user needs to know to make something happen that should simply be available in the first place.
I know that I'll adjust to incorporating an interaction that I shouldn't have to learn to get what I need. Good UX design should never put the user in this position. From what I can tell with a bit or research, this expected feature used to be offered in Edge and was removed in the past year or two.
Again, thanks for your help so far!
