Its a bit too cumbersome to have this happen with Emacs, because
Emacs allows one to open up as many files as one could want.
There isn't a scalability issue that one finds with Window's view
of how things operate.  One thing I used to use, when I was
looking for that type of functionality though, was

        Ctrl-LeftClick, or to be more emacs precise,
        C-down-mouse-1
