Opening multiple tabs with one custom link?

I want a custom link to open multiple tabs with one click. Right now we have a bunch of links that open only one tab at a time. Is this possible? I have tried, but cannot figure out the Java Script to make it work.

What we have now:
Custom Link 1 =
window.open("http://www.google.com/search?q={!Lead.Company} {!Lead.City__c} {!Lead.State__c}")

Custom Link 2 = 
window.open("https://foursquare.com/explore?near={!Lead.City__c}%2C%20{!Lead.State__c}&q={!SUBSTITUTE(JSENCODE(Lead.Company),'&','and')}")

Custom Link 3 = etc.

What I want is:
Custom Link =
window.open("https://foursquare.com/explore?near={!Lead.City__c}%2C%20{!Lead.State__c}&q={!SUBSTITUTE(JSENCODE(Lead.Company),'&','and')}") + window.open("http://www.google.com/search?q={!Lead.Company} {!Lead.City__c} {!Lead.State__c}") + etc...

Hi Sandhya,

This is helpful, but I still can't get it to work. 

I put copied what you sent me and put it into the custom link editor:
$('a.yourlink').click(function(e) { e.preventDefault(); window.open('http://google.com'); window.open('http://twitter.com'); });

It says "$ is not a function".
FYI, I chose Behavior = Execute JavaScript. 

What do I need to do to make this work? Thanks!
