Comment(by rransom):

 For a ‘magnet link’, right-click the link, click ‘Copy Link Location’, and
 paste the URL into the torrent client.  For a torrent file (''not'' the
 same as a magnet link), save the file with ‘Save Link As...’ and open it
 with the torrent client.

 It would probably be very bad if TBB supported the ‘`magnet:`’ URI scheme
 directly.
