Hi Barry, We've got two different discussions going on here. Yuma was responding to my (lengthy) post about the options on the Safari Preferences menu for tabbing. Although they use sequences like Command-Click, Command-Shift-Click, Command-Option-Click, and Command- Option-Shift-Click for their actions, a VoiceOver user can substitute pressing the "Return" key (that some users refer to as the "Enter" key) in place of Clicking, and it is not necessary to route the mouse to the link with VO-Command-F5 first (at least in the present version of Safari, Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard, and perhaps also in Snow Leopard). You were talking about VO-Shift-M as VoiceOver's way to get to the contextual menu (including the context menu for a web page link), which gives other options like copying the link URL, downloading the link's content (if it's a PDF file or mp3 files), opening the link in a new window, etc.
At present setting up the Safari preferences from the tab pane will allow you to use Command-Return and Command-Option-Return to open a link in either a new tab or window that gets focus. (Wow, I've gotten used to typing Command-Enter -- this doesn't seem natural to type Return.)
