Hi All,
IMO open a webpage in new tab or page is recommended depending on your use
case. AFAIK giving a pop up link will block by browser due to security
reason.
So what you can do is, append simple class to "a"(anchor) to prevent all
links opening in new page.
Use below code snippet for Pages that you want to open in new page or tab.
for HTML link:
<a href="external_link" class="new-page" > this is an external link </a>
for other links
<a href="normal-page">default </a>
Script:
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery(".wiki-content a.new-page").attr("target", "_blank");
});
</script>
Thank you,
Regards,
