Exporting Multiple LR photos to Photoshop Simultaneously

While in Adobe Camera Raw, I can open any number of selected photos in Photoshop with one click (Windows: Ctrl + O).  Can the same be done in Lightroom--that is: export multiple photos to Photoshop at once.  I know how to export one Lightroom file at a time to Photoshop (ctrl + E).  I would like to be able to select, say 5 files, while in the Library or Develop module and then open all 5 in Photoshop with one click (like ctrl+shift+E or some such combination).  Is this possible or can I only export one Lightroom photo to Photoshop at a time?

    Some things you can just try on your own such as maybe highlight several images and press Ctrl+E and see if it works. That's what I just did, and it does.

    I can select several and "Edit in Photoshop" [ Ctrl+E ]  opens them all individually in Ps.   (Windows-10 Lr CC2015.12 )
