On many occasions one might want to open an item from Safari's Bookmarks or History menus in a new tab. Like Firefox, Safari 5 offers an easy way to do so, which I have not seen listed anywhere.

As is commonly known, in Safari 4 and later, if you click on a History or Bookmark Menu item while holding the Command key pressed, the bookmark or history item opens in a new tab.

In Safari 5 (I have never tried it in version 4 but it might work) one can also open such an item in a new tab by clicking on it with the middle mouse button using a three-button mouse.

[crarko adds: I haven't tested this one with a three-button mouse. Any mouse that can be programmed to perform a Command-click should be able to have this functionality.]
