Open links in background in Evolution?

When I click a link in an email (Evolution), I’d like Web (my default browser) or Firefox to start loading the link in the background while the Evolution window remains in focus on the screen. This is the default behavior in Thunderbird, for example. But when I click a link in Evolution the desktop focus shifts to the browser instead of remaining with Evolution. Is there any way to keep Evolution in focus when clicking on links within emails?
