When selecting a text that has the syntax of a valid url and right-clicking it, you get the option to open it as URL. So far so clear. But how to open it in a new tab or window (and not in the same tab or window)?

Thanks ... there must have been something wrong that it did not behave as it was meant to ... anyway ...
Suggestion: I would like to have all five options to select directly in that menu, to decide case by case; i.e.:
a) open in the same tab,
c) open in a new tab but keep staying on the former tab
b) open in a new tab and go to that new tab,
e) open in a new window but keep staying on the former tab
d) open in a new window and go to that new tab,
They all are there already.
Checking 'In background' boxes will keep you at current tab/window while opening selected in new.
Sorry for misunderstanding. siria have given better answer ;-)

Here's a tiny macro. It cannot tell if a selected text is "a valid URL", only checks if no dot is contained or if it has linebreaks, then it warns and stops. If that's good enough for your purpose:
Copy the blue text into a new notepad file and save it as "OpenAsURLx5.kmm" into the macros folder (make sure it gets no *.txt ending, by saving as "all types" or such...)
OLD VERSION, see next post for update to version 2!

btw: they could be there; in theory and not without each time going to settings and change them; and that was not the idea ...
yep, siria has done great work (thanks for it, it's working fine!) ...
Update, see request in

If a selection contains linebreaks, it does not show an error anymore but instead removes it automatically
PS: if this thread could be moved to Extensions forum I could attach it as file
