From a quick Google search, it seems that most of the context menu
entries open a single file. If multiple files are selected then
the command is called once for each file. The workaround seems
to check if the processes is already running and if it is then to
directly send it a "open" command.

That being said, since you are opening a web browser (or so it
seems to me based on the webbrowser.open), you should not have
an issue because modern web browsers will open each link in a tab.

To answer your question, you will not get more than one as an
argument. That is expected behavior.
