What I really want is an extension that will let me open a retweet by right clicking and opening it in new tab. That way I don't lose my scroll position and can get a collection of things I want to read. I went looking for such a thing but couldn't find it.

I did find Control Panel for Twitter though, which is a great improvement.

Does middle-clicking the tweet not open it in a new tab?

Hey that works! Thanks!

Shift+click or Ctrl+click works if someone doesn't have a middle button (I forget the exact combo bc it's just in muscle memory from daily use)

Usually: shift is a new window and control is a new tab.

for mac:

cmd+click: new tab in the background

cmd+shift+click: new tab and focus that new tab

You can also right click on the date (next to the username), that is a proper link which has the open in new tab option.
