_TARGET=BLANK equivalent on Bookmarks?

Subject line says it mostly. Normally, when you click a bookmark button it replaces the content in current window by default. I am aware I can hold CTRL or SHIFT down to launch a new tab or window respectively. I would however like to be able for certain bookmarks to set the default launch behavior, similar to setting the HTML target=_blank tag on a link. I need certain bookmarks to always launch into new windows (and even nicer would be to launch into a conveniently resized window to left or right of my current window). The idea is that there are frequently times when the content of both windows is needed at same time.

Try to enter about:config in the URL bar and set browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs = true.

Yes, That is a big improvement, and satisfactory work around for now. Thank you. (An equivalent for loadbookmarksinWINDOWS would be nice too.)
