10.5: Open multiple items from a Stack Desktop
This hint lets you open several items in a stack in one go, instead of having to open the stack several times.

After clicking on a stack so that it fans or grids out, hold the Option key down, and then click on as many items as you desire within the stack. As you click each, it will open and the stack will remain onscreen. Unfortunately (at least when selecting folders), items will open behind what ever program you happen to be working in at the time.

it's like opening a new tab in safari, if you want to open the item on top of what you're doing, hold option and command when you click on the items. the stack will stay open and whatever you clicked in the stack will open on top of what you're working on.
