About Wild Links
Wild Links brings back the power of rubber-band link selection — right-click and drag a box over any links on a page, and they all open instantly in background tabs.
Perfect for research, reading lists, spreadsheets with hyperlinks, or any time you want to queue up multiple pages without losing your place.
Key features:
• Right-click drag to draw a selection box over links
• Opens all selected links in background tabs instantly
• Live link highlighting — see exactly which links will open as you drag
• Cursor counter shows a live count near your cursor while selecting
• Duplicate URLs are automatically skipped
• ESC key cancels a drag in progress
• Custom tab limit confirmation — a clean in-page dialog instead of a browser alert
• Works inside iframes (including Google Sheets)
• Fully configurable — trigger method, selection box appearance, tab behavior, link filtering, and link feedback style
• Light, dark, and system theme support
• Settings sync across devices via your Google account
Configurable options include:

• Selection box color, fill, opacity, border style, and thickness

• Link feedback style: highlight, number counter, icon, or none
