You can make this happen using the external wiki syntax. My users do this, and 
I hate them for it.

Here's an example:


@TechServicesInstallationsDiary=http://www.ts.adastra.co.uk/office/diary/atsdiary.htm

Then you do your link like this

Making a link open in a new window requires using the 'target="_blank"' 
attribute on the <a /> element, which is going to involve delving into the 
horrible formatting/parsing code, which is not a task I relish 
[cid:image001.gif@01C873E6.AFB73170] .

In all honesty, the whole point of having the context menu options to open in 
new window, new tab (or whatever the browser supports) is the whole point. If 
the user wants a new window, they can have one. If they don't, they can choose 
to put it wherever their browser of choice allows. I would prefer not to 
further muddy the complicated wiki formatting rules even further by enabling 
some additional syntax that enables specifying target="_blank".

That said, yes it can be done if someone is brave enough to venture into the 
formatting/parsing code and do a good job making sure that they write 
sufficient additional test cases and making sure that all the previous test 
cases still pass [cid:image002.gif@01C873E6.AFB73170] .

Kind Regards,

Derek.

Hi Anders,

I was just on that page and noticed the question. There is no way in the 
standard wiki software to open a link in a new window, from the link itself. 
Users become accustomed to right-clicking a link and selecting the action they 
desire or the link opens in the window they are in. This is normal browser 
behavior - I am always annoyed by links that open a separate window when I want 
it to open in the current one.

Anyone else want to weigh in on desirable behavior in this case? It would be 
possible to change if there is a valid requirement.

Hi!

Just a quick question. How do you write to open a link in a new window?

I searched flexwiki.com<http://flexwiki.com> but couldn't find it in the user 
guide. I saw a question about it there but there were no answers.



I want to have a link to a directory in the intranet opening up in a new window 
instead of the current one.



So like  "Intranetlink":file:////myserver/mydirectory



Thanks in advance!



Regards

Anders
