How to make confluence links all open in new window

Chi Nguyen

Hi Atlassian,
 

We want to insert links to external websites in my page and have them open up in a new window. (It's not just ctrl+click).

We want all links to open in a new tab, window. Please support us.
My Confluence 6.0.0-OD-2016.12.2-1113.

Thanks so much,
Chi

Hi,

You can add some javascript to apply the target="_blank"  attribute to all links so that they open up in a new window. If you want to target only links that lead to external sites, you can use the class ".external-link" which confluence applies to all links that are external.

For example, add something like this to the custom HTML section in the admin area:

 AJS.$(".external-link").attr("target", "_blank");
