How to open new tabs from search bar without switching to them

more options

I'd like to be able to open new tabs from my search bar autocomplete suggestions by wheel clicking them without the browser switching to the tab I open.

To be really specific so there's no room for misunderstanding: let's say I type "youtube" and the search bar shows me 3 or 4 of my most visited channels. I want to be able to open them through mousewheel clicks, all in new tabs, without the search bar collapsing and the browser taking me to the first tab I open.

It may sound dumb but this is the only thing preventing me from completely switching to Firefox, since I'm really used to doing things this way. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hola, Su consulta fue redirigida el foro de soporte en Español. A ver si esto te sirve?: puedes abrir las resultados (links) de la búsqueda en nuevas pestañas, de a una, permaneciendo la vista en la pestaña actual (de la búsquedas), entonces seria abrir enlaces en pestañas nuevas y permanecer en la pestaña actual es decir que no cambie de pestaña, Si así te paso las preferencias avanzadas que hay que cambiar. Saludos

Sí, quiero poder abrir pestañas nuevas, específicamente desde el desplegable de búsqueda, sin que el navegador cambie a la pestaña que abro. Si tienes la solución te lo agradecería mucho
