Link in the annotation
<a href="/esc?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0010066" target="_blank">Incident Escalation and Severity Matrix</a>
I used the above code in a annotation to open the link to an article. It opens in the same page (ITIl user uses this in Workspace). Why? How can I make it open in a new tab instead?

This works in the backend. Even a simple_blank is enough for backend. But I am trying to make it work in Workspace. Looks like this is not possible because of some interceptor in workspace.

you already added target attribute as _blank
This will work in new tab in native
share how you added annotation and how it's showing in form in workspace

I believe target=_blank is not considered within workspace
when you use in native it will open link in new tab as browser supports target attribute and javascript understands that.
Workspace has some limitations in this,
