How to open link in a new tab via shortcut in Chrome on Mac?

Solution 1:

It will still take 30 clicks, one for each link, but…

Remember that Cmd ⌘ on Mac is usually equivalent to Ctrl ⌃ on Windows.

Cmd ⌘ Click will open a link in a new a tab behind the current one, if you click a link.

Cmd ⌘ Shift ⇧ Click will open the new tab & bring it to the front.

These are the default settings [iirc] but they can be changed in Prefs…

Edit:
Sorry, I only just realised you said Chrome.
It does follow the same behaviour, though I can't find anywhere to actually change it.
