How do I make links within a children display open in a new tab

mauro chacón

I've got a few pages within our org's space that have children display macros embedded.  I've looked all over and cannot find a way to make the links, within the children display macro, to open in a new tab. 

I do not have access to the header for embedding additional code and would like to know if I can include the necessary code via stylesheet.

Where can I access the links within the child display macro for editing?  I'm taking up this role and had little to no training.

Hi @mauro chacón,

if you are able to create a user macro, you can wrap the children macro into a script that will open the links in a new tab:

This is the code of the user-macro:

## @noparams

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
 jQuery(".wiki-content a").attr("target", "_blank");
});
</script>

<ac:structured-macro ac:name="children"/>

Save the macro as "children-external" and put that macro to your page. 

As a result, every link on your page will open in a new window. That means, every link. Not only the ones from your children-macro. 

If you have further questions regarding user macros, don't hesitate to ask.
