Why can't Open In Tabs work with folders?

On my browser, if I command-click (or click the equivalent contextual menu item) on a folder full of bookmarks, it opens all of them, each in its own tab. DT will only do this if I first open the folder, then select all the items in it, which is tiresome.

Shouldn’t it be possible to make this work for folders, as well as groups of items? Is it scriptable, at least?

It’s of course scriptable:


tell application id "com.devon-technologies.thinkpro2"
	set theSelection to the selection
	repeat with theRecord in theSelection
		if type of theRecord is group then
			set theChildren to children of theRecord
			repeat with theChild in theChildren
				open tab for record theChild in think window 1
			end repeat
		else
			open tab for record theRecord in think window 1
		end if
	end repeat
end tell

Thanks! And here’s a script to close all tabs:

tell application "DEVONthink Pro"
	set theWindow to front window
	repeat with theTab in (get tabs of theWindow)
		close theTab
	end repeat
end tell
