I think it's a bad idea. Then you'd have to imply the use of selecting a
check box for opening of single files too (for the sake of consistency),
which I think is a UI horror (check boxes are small and not so easy to
hit, and why should you be forced to click on it instead of the file
name?).

No, the way to select multiple files should probably be SHIFT+mouseclick
and CTRL+mouseclick (like it already is, both on Windows and in gmc).
