Open a weblink in a NEW tab when publishing button/image weblink to Scroll Viewport

[Adriane Hunt]

My Scroll Viewport Confluence Cloud content has an image that I want to add a weblink to that directs users to another (external) web site in a NEW tab. Can this be accomplished without the use of a third-party macro? Is there a way to accomplish this with the Advanced option in the Insert Weblink dialog?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hello @Adriane Hunt 

Long time no see :) 

What is the format of the button? 

If the button is an image on the page (a part of the content), you can add a hyperlink to it and it works just fine on a viewport site (opens by default in a new tab).

Or is it smth you added via custom CSS?

Hi Kristian! :D

The button or image would be a *.png or *.jpg file linking to an external site (in this case, an eLearning course in our LMS). We were using Aura Cards on Confluence Server, but those macros aren't supported by Viewport. :-(

I didn't notice that hyperlinks open in a new tab in Scroll Viewport so we'll test that. Thanks as always for your assistance!

I created this specifically for your question :) 

A random image, dropped the link of our doc site, published Viewport, done.

Thanks for you help and have a GREAT day!

Hello Kristian,

I'm trying to get any regular link to open in a new tab, and struggling.

Can you share the Confluence source URL for the URL:

Thank you!
