How to make a link in a Scriptrunner web item open in a new tab or window?

[Ashley Honeycutt]

Using Scriptrunner, I added a button that shows up in a particular project. The button opens a link to documentation relevant to that project. Currently, this opens in the same window.

I would prefer this open in a new tab so the user doesn't lose progress if they had started filling out issue details or a comment. If a new tab doesn't work, a new window would be fine as well.

I tried a few different things, but can't get there. Any tips are greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Hi @Ashley Honeycutt 

If you are using a <a href="LINK" target="_blank">Link text</a>, target is use to open new tab.

Hi @Florian Bonniec ! 

I tried that with no luck, unfortunately.

For context, this is the documentation I'm referencing: https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4js/9.6.0/features/fragments/web-item

The Link and Menu text fields do not respond to adding html.

Based on previous community answer, it do not seems to be possible. There is a workaround provided by atlassian.
