Description

Hi,

In Chrome/ium you can middle click on a bookmark folder to open all of them in separate tabs, which I find very handy and use often in order to open all of my news sites, for example.

I'd love to be able to hit shift + b and type news and have a single entry for the news folder and have it open all of the bookmarks within the folder.

Research direction

Start by tracing the Vomnibar flow used by shift + b, including how bookmark folders are searched and selected. Check how an individual bookmark opens, then determine where a folder result could represent opening its bookmarks in separate tabs. Done means a named folder such as news appears as one result and opens all bookmarks in that folder.
