The seemingly obvious “Get Specified URLs” -> “Display Webpages” workflow opens sites in individual browser windows and not in tabs within a single window.

For the attached workflow to work:

Create and name a folder (e.g. “Sites”).
Fill “Sites” with Web Internet Location files, i.e. navigate to a site in browser and drag the sites icon from the address bar into folder.
Add “Sites” to first action in workflow.
Set “Open with” drop-down list to alternative browser if default is not required.
“Open links from applications” needs to be set to “in a new tab in the current window” in Safari preferences or equivalent in other browsers.

This workflow is useful for instance if you view the same collection of sites each morning.
