Hi,
actually the HTTP link opens the page in the same tab. I need it in a new tab.
Is there any way for that ?
Thanks
Michel
Hello there!
Currently, this is listed as a Feature Suggestion in our reports. You can take a look at it here:
Provide the ability to create a link in Confluence that will open in a new tab
Users can use the following to open links in a new tab:
CTRL+Left Click (Windows) or CMD+Left Click (macOS) Right click > Open in a new tab
This need has been shared in our Community a few years back, you can check it here:
Confluence hyperlink which open a new tab or a new window
Let us hear from you!
This would be a great enhancement!
I changed the anchor tag, in the "edit HTML" to include the target="_blank" attribute inside the anchor tag. I saved the changes and it TOOK MY EDITS OUT!
That's frustrating.
I agree with the suggestion. It's a fundamental User Experience principle to keep the user "knowing" where they are. Using the back button on the browser isn't that great. It's also awkward to tell our users to use CTRL+Left Click, etc. This would be a much needed enhancement.
same here, that is actually nuts.. Would love to hear their logic for this.
I sold Confluence Cloud to my Operations team and now I'm finding out it's a cut down version of the original self-hosted Confluence I grew up to love.
Colour me a conspiracy theorist but this seems like these restrictions are to pave the way their marketplace for custom "apps", veiled under the guise of security.
EDIT: inb4 DC licenses are still available etc., we're a small to medium enterprise (way less than 500 users) and can't stomach the five digit price tag as a starting point.
Yes, it is a simple yet powerful feature! Will help the community a lot.
I agree with you Martin... the minimal the product could offer would be to allow the HTML edit so that the browser could open a new tab or window. The best would be to allow it to be configured when creating a link. The worst seems to be the solution of "telling users they have to use a CTRL+Left Click". This just isn't something users do in any other application when they click a link. They expect us to provide useful navigation.
