Hi,

I have a requirement that, when we view a knowledge article and if i have a URL in that, when i click on that URL it should open in new tab.

 

I have changed the default value in UI Page "html_insert_link_dialog" to "New window (_blank)", but it is working when we manually open the insert/modify link in knowledge article body and select Ok

But it should open the url automatically without doing it maually. Can anyone a solution for this?

Hi @Community Alums 

 

For example:

I have a added one URL in knowledge article body like below

when we view the article and click on url it is opening in same tab instead it should open in new tab.

If i click on insert/modify link and select target as New window (_blank) and click on okay then the URL is opening in new tab.

But we can not do it manually for all the URL's in each knowledge articles. Is there any way that if we add any url in article it should automatically redirect to new tab ?

Hi @soumya19 ,

There is no OOTB way to do it, it needs customization.
