I realize you can hold control or click middle mouse wheel or use the right click context menu to do this, -however- one of my main devices is a Surface Pro 4 with no keyboard/mouse (it broke a while ago and can't justify spending another $100 on a fairly outdated device). This means I have no middle mouse button or easy access to ctrl, and while I can use the right click menu, it is slow as there is a built in delay with touch and then I mis"click" a lot as the menus are fairly small. Not being able to set it to open in a new tab is the biggest feature I miss from switching from Chrome, as I often research things and just want to quickly open a bunch of links to sort through later, but this is nearly impossible on touch without this option. I have looked for an extension to do this but I could not find any in the extensions available. Please add this, touchscreen functionality is very important.

I switched from Edge to GX and this is the only feature i felt was obvious enough to add but they didnt.
