Hi Jon,

Again, sorry no one got back to you sooner. Unfortunately you can not  
make the default behavior for links to open as background tabs at  
this time. This is certainly something we'll be considering in the  
future though. We have an open request for this and I'll add your  
vote to the list.

This takes a little extra manual work but you can drag links as well  
as bookmarks to the tab drawer. When you do this they should open as  
background tabs. This at least frees up the Command key if you would  
prefer it's behavior to be something different.

Thanks!
Troy
