Once the VO cursor is sitting on a link, you can press control-option-shift-m to bring up the context menu, and then press the down arrow once to get to the first option, which is open in new tab. Then you have to stop interacting with the link for some reason.
I am under-going training for a job which requires opening result items in Google.
Peter, that (VO Shift M) is actually the method I use. Hehehehe
Greg, This (Command Return) one is I been looking for. It works with the links, although, if the Link is also a Heading in the search result it does not seem to work. I should message Apple.
If the link is embedded in a heading, you may need to interact with it (VO + Shift + Down Arrow) before the shortcut will work. I can’t say for sure if that fixes it for this particular situation, but I have run into other issues with links which required interacting to get around.

Opening link in new tab
Hello,
I believe the keystroke is command plus return to open in a new tab.
