Command Chain assistance - Open bookmark folder as tab stack
-
I'm looking to create a command chain work-around to open a bookmark folder as tab stack.
It could also be described as: When (trigger) a bookmarks folder is opened as tabs, select those (or recent) tabs and create a stack from the selection.The current behavior is to open the selected folder as new tabs. The user then has to select the tabs (I find shift-click to be the easiest), right-click, and "Stack n selected tabs". I'd like to turn all of this into 1 action. Command Chains can provide these kinds of actions via Quick Commands, Keyboard Shortcuts (hotkeys), or Mouse Gestures, so it is just a matter of how (and if it's possible) to build this series of actions as a Command Chain.
I'm not finding any commands that can address opening a bookmark, so I'm kind of stuck at the beginning of this chain. I'm not super familiar with chains, so any help that would get me closer to a work-around would be greatly appreciated. I think I have something for stacking a recent selection, but I am mid-migration and need to get that off of the other OS build since Sync does not handle command chains yet.

@penguinairlines You can ask for help here ☛ https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/63828/command-chain-recipes, but yeah, opening a bookmark folder isn’t possible with a chain. This would either need to allow for a folder as parameter, or be only available through the context menu of the bookmarks bar, the panel, or the page. So not sure how feasible it is.

Thanks! I actually read through that whole thread before posting, but I figured Tips & Tricks would not be the right place to ask for assistance.

Gah! Both of these went through my mind, but since the issue already exists that this is not a Vivaldi feature (bookmarks context menu - open tabs as stack), then I was hoping there was some other way to address/target a bookmarks folder. For the parameter part, I'm not finding tons of examples other than basic use-case, such as a URL for Open Link in New Tab, where I hoped we could supply a parameter that would address each object in the target folder.
P.S. It's been fun reading your posts btw. Glad to see someone developing and sharing many new command chains! Keep up the good work.

One way is to make a chain to open all the urls with the 'Open link in new tab' commands. Enter the bookmarked address as parameter. Make new command for each address.
Then add commands to select previous tabs, as many as needed and at the end stack them.
It will be same result, but without using bookmarks. If you don't often add or delete bookmarks from that folder, it wouldn't make any difference.
