Bug Description
I would like to see this feature added:
Currently when I click a link in a message, the link is opened in my default browser and focus is changed to the browser window. If there are many messages with links and I want to open all of them, and read them later, this means switching back to gwibber and then finding my place in the list of messages to find the next link I wanted to open, and doing this over and over again.
How about if I middle-click on a link, it opens in the browser, but focus stays on the gwibber window? Then I can go through my messages quickly, middle-clicking links I want to look at later.
How about making this an optional behavior with a checkbox in the Settings?

my usecase: a few people posted links and I want to aggregate them and take a look later without distracting myself.
