HI @XYD23 ,
I trust you are doing great.
In the "Script" section of the UI Action, you will write JavaScript to open the desired URL in a new tab. Here's a sample script:

function openURL() {
    var url = "https://www.example.com"; // Replace with your desired URL
    window.open(url, '_blank');
}

if (typeof window == 'undefined') {
    openURL();
}
