Do not close the notification menu when a notification's item is opened in another tab
Currently, acting on a notification's item closes the notification menu, which makes it impossible to open all notifications in new tabs without having to reopen the notification menu.
The only way to open the item without having the menu closed, is to right-click on the link to bring up the context menu, and choose to open it in another tab. That however, means the notification does not get marked as read, thus requiring even more steps. Holding down CTRL or CMD when clicking on it (which the browser interprets as opening in a new tab), does mark it as read, but also leads to closure of the menu.

I disagree. If the menu were left open, then it would be annoying and get in the way. It's trivial to click on the inbox icon again if/when you want the notifications menu again.
But then there's no way to open all the notifications quickly
Sure there is. A single click on the in-tray icon is all it takes.
