Is there an add-on (or another way) that will let me add/remove choices when I right-click on a link. Specifically, by default when I click on a link in a web page the tab that I am on changes to that link. If I right-click that link instead of left-clicking, a choice comes up to open that link in a new tab.

HERE'S WHAT I WANT TO DO: I would let to change the default options. When I click on a link (left-click) I would like the link to open in a new tab as the default action. If I right-click the link I would like a choice to be to go to that link in the current tab. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance... Bob

You can set the browser.link.open_newwindow pref to 1 on the about:config page to open a link by default in the current tab.
Then you can left-click the link.

I don't have to foggiest idea what you're talking about when you use a phrase lie "browser.link.open_newwindow". I don't know how this interacts with your links but I am talking about a new tab and not a new window.
