Open in other window

[ppareit]

Unable to open a link to a recent file or a bookmark in an other window.

An example for what I mean, assuming you have bookmarks: Press C-x r l to open the bookmark list and now press C-o to open a bookmark in an other window.

This also does not work in recentf-open-files and the code of emacs-dashboard depends just like recentf on widgets. To me the problem that the call to widget-button-press is not flexible enough.

How about another approach? ffap-other-window should work similar to what you are asking.

Kind of works. Still asks if this is the correct file. I can get around this using elisp. Does not work in Bookmarks. One also can get around this using elisp.

Still good workaround, can be used for my use case.
