Retain focus of current tab when opening links in new tabs

In Firefox preferences, under Tabs, there's an option: "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately".

This behaviour is default in both Opera and Firefox, but in Firefox it can be changed by unticking the box. Is there an option in Opera to retain focus of current tab when opening links in new tabs instead of it automatically switching to the new tab?

Ctrl shift click or middle-click on the link. Or add a custom mouse gesture:

GestureDown = Open link in background page | New page

Hold the right mouse button down over a link and drag down over a link to open it in the background, when not over a link the gesture will open a new tab.
