I'm not familiar with VIM - could you explain what advantages it would 
bring?

I think what you're looking for is already implemented. In your Tabs & 
Window preferences, if you have 'cmd-click to open links' selected as 
'in a new active tab', then Cmd-Shift-Click will open them in a 
background tab - and vice versa.

Cheers,
Jon
