While reading a Wikipedia article in a web browser, both desktop and mobile, I very frequently open links in a new tab for reading later. This way my reading of the first article is less interrupted. I couldn't find a way to do it in the Android app, and it would be a useful thing to have. On iOS there's a "add to reading list" when I long-press a link. I don't think that it comes from the app, because I can't find the message. It probably comes from the iOS browser.
There is actually a open bug for tabbed browsing, which would lead to a solution for this feature, as well: Bug 67251 However, tabbed browsing is pretty low in priority at the moment. We could also do something like "Save target page" when long-pressing a link, which would save the linked page to the "saved pages" list.
(Yeah, the iOS 'Add to Reading List' is from the system-provided long-press menu and puts it into an offline reading list in Safari. Replacing it with a custom menu would let us include our own save-page feature as well as copy link etc.)
Although this one was filed earlier, I'm marking this one as a duplicate of bug 69930 since that bug has a clearer description of the way forward. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 69930 ***
