how to create an anchor tag line with target="_blank" in confluence links

Confluence links syntax doesn't appear to provide a way to set the target frame.

Thanks Shannon but unfortunately supporting anchor tags means that the target attribute is part of that standard.  I'll look for other options.

Hi Jim,

There's not a way to do this with Confluence Cloud by default, and it was previously requested as a feature request but is not in the upcoming roadmap:

• CONFCLOUD-11194 Open links in new window

I would recommend having a look at the following third party add-on, as it might provide a way for you to target how links open:

• Marketplace - Linking for Confluence

I'm not personally familiar with this add-on, but it was recommended in our feature request as an alternative.

Regards,

Shannon
