Comment:
I confirm that current we have this feature natively on Firefox. No luck
for us with IE, Safari and Opera.
I've just investigated this feature a bit and find out several issues.
I'm supposing the only way to do that is:
1. Take the link href.
2. Call window.open to open it.
Sounds simple, but then the troubles.
* Popup blockers just hate window.open.
* Everything is ok with full URLs.
* Absolute URLs (like "/path/page.html") will be always relative to the
site running the editor. No lucky to open www pages from a backoffice in a
different URL.
* Relative URLs (like "path.page.html" or "../path/page.html") are a big
trouble. They will be always relative to the "fckeditor/editor" folder.
I've tried opening it from several different windows, but it will always
be relative to "fckeditor/editor".
So, things are not that simple. The correct approach would be:
* If BaseHref is set, combine absolute and relative URLs with it. The
base href value should be taken from the page because of FullPage=true.
* If BaseHref is empty, combine absolute and relative URLs with the main
page URL (the page containing the editor).
Other then that, I've also tested the CTRL+Click and SHIFT+Click. In IE,
clicks with control (at least on editing mode) are not passed to the
"click" or "mousedown" events. So there is no way to catch them. I was
able to make it work with SHIFT with "good enough" results. But, it seems
that CTRL is more accepted for that (Word uses it for instance). So, much
probably the context menu option is the right approach for it.
To conclude, this is doable with some effort, but the popup blockers issue
will always be a problem for us.
