If you want to open links without close popup, you can do it opening tabs in background, the extension you mentioned currently support Ctrl + Click to open links in background...

Brauer To: Chromium-extensions ; chromium-dev Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 2:16 PM Subject: [crx] New API: Pin Extension Issue 30688 (http://crbug.com/30688) Users should be able to "pin" BrowserActions if the developer enables it in the manifest. Example: I use the Chromed Bird extension (http://chromedbird.com/) as my main Twitter application. The biggest problem I have is that I like to go through my tweets and open all the links that interest me before actually spending time to read each page that I open. Currently (at least in the Windows version) when you click a link, the popup is closed so I end up clicking a link, opening the popup again, finding where I left off, rinse and repeat. Solution 1: Add a "Pin this" icon somewhere along the popup UI (or maybe just add a "pin-up" API so developers can place it where they want it). This would cause the popup to stay open no matter what the user did (including clicking links, switching tabs, etc). The BrowserAction popup wouldn't go away until either the user clicked "unpin"/close OR the if the user opens a different BrowserAction popup. Solution 2: Add a context menu for BrowserActions (see http://crbug.com/28335) and have an option to "Pin this to the side". Pinning would then stick the popup on the right side of the browser (similar to side panels in other browsers). It would close only if the user clicked close or if they tried to pin a different BrowserAction popup. Any thoughts, comments, questions, speculation, hate mail, threats, etc? :) PS...
