using the control button while using your trackpad button simulates a right-click where you will see Download Link to Disk or just plug in a USB 2-button Kensington trackball like I do. =)

What browser are you using? In safari or internet explorer you just right click (or ctl click) and select "Download Link to Disk".

it does not bookmark like you think, but rather downloads what the link points to... I hope this makes sense to you.
