Open URL links in new tab by default

[rsheeley]

Is there no way for a SN user to set all links to open in a new tab? Every other product in the world gives you the option....except Atlassian.

There is no right click option via any browser or in the dropdown lists.

This is incredibly frustrating.

I'm not aware of such feature, the only thing I usually use is using CTRL + Click on a list or on links and that usually opens on a new tab. For example on a list of req items if I want to open 2 of them I use CTRL + click on the first column.

Thanks Diego!!  This was the answer I was looking for. Every other answer I have seen on this question has been helpful people suggesting coding changes or adding URL hooks. That's not an answer for an end user of the product.

its not all hyperlinks, but you can control it at each link:

To open a link in a new tab using HTML, you need to use the target attribute with the value _blank in the anchor (<a>) element.

Example

<a href="<<URL>>" target="_blank">Visit Example</a>

This will open the link in a new tab when clicked.

Security Considerations

It's recommended to add rel="noopener noreferrer" to prevent security risks like tabnabbing.

<a href="<<URL>>" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Visit Example</a>

This ensures that the new page cannot access your original page's window object.

Note: Always use these attributes to enhance security and user experience

Yes I see what you mean, indeed I am not aware of something that makes all of them open on a new tab by default. I usually use the CTRL click and that usually also works on html links for example.
