Not sure if it's a smart idea, but what if you could use context menu to open all selected hyperlinks at the same time?

Interesting idea, common from web browsers. But there are security issues to consider.

Currently, when <Ctrl>+<mouse Click> "following" an external hyperlink it invokes a system call to launch another executable, and we warn the user to consider any risk, see openuriexternally().

Don't see how opening multiple external URIs could be supported with similar control. Requiring such control to be relaxed and would require a user/sysadmin managed configuration. But opening of multiple external URIs remaining disabled by default.

Control could be expertconfig stanza, and maybe also available in UI placed on the Tools -> Options -> Options... 'Security Options and Warnings' dialog, adjacent to the 'Ctrl-click required to open hyperlinks' checkbox?

Never seen a browser that has this feature.

That's the actual question. Ctrl+click is pretty simple and sufficient for the application. Links can also have a target in the current document, for example in case of a ToC. And I assume this is the default.

Safety issues on top I would not recommend such feature.
