URL link open in a new window

[Matt Ryan]

Is there a way to have a URL in a confluence page open the external site in a new window?

[Patrick Vanhoof]

There is a way you can quite easily accomplish this, explained in article https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-force-links-to-open-in-a-new-window-213518072.html

Hey @Matt Ryan
Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

As per our documentation, Confluence does not provide an option to configure a link to open in a new window or tab.

You can achieve it by using plugins. A free option is "Link Opener for Confluence", available in Atlassian Marketplace.
