When in a private window, How do you open a bookmark or link in a normal window?

If you are currently using a normal window then there are ways to open a bookmark or link in a private window. But if you are currently using a private window then how would you open a bookmark or link in a normal window?

I have tried several things including pressing shift+enter or choosing "Open in new Window" from the context menu, but this just opens the bookmark or link in a new private window.

My current method is to copy the address of the bookmark or link then paste it into the address bar of a normal window.

But is there a more direct method of opening bookmarks or links in a normal window, if currently in a private window?

Thanks.

You can't do this AFAIK, you will have to switch to a regular window and open the bookmark/link there like you are already doing. For bookmarks this shouldn't be a problem as you should be able to access bookmarks the same way.

Note, I am a keyboard user, so by all means post any mouse-specific solutions in case future mouse users have the same query, but I would most appreciate keyboard-specific methods if any are available. Thanks.

cor-el Thanks. If there is no direct method for opening a link from a site or a bookmark from an already open menu or sidebar, and copying and pasting addresses is the best workaround, then I will continue to do this when needed. Thanks for answering.
