    Can Open in New Tab option be added to Call to Action link in Web Stories, like there is an option for a regular blog post? I am losing lots of traffic/users every time someone clicks on a link of a product I am sharing. It would be very helpful if we could select whether we want the link to open in a new tab (for example, if I am linking to a product page) or within the same window (if I am linking to my own blog post, i.e. “Click here to learn more about the topic”).
    I am aware of the option of adding a text and turning it into a hyperlink, but those link clicks aren’t easily trackable in Google Analytics, as Call to Action is.

  • @meliukm Hello. Thank you for your suggestion. The “Call to Action” requires one tap and will always open the link in the same window after swiping up. You can use regular links to attach to elements on a page that require 2 taps and will open in a new tab. The handling of links is based on the AMP story format spec in #links-in-amp-story-grid-layer and this is the direction we will continue to support.

    We are going to mark your topic as resolved as we haven’t received any further response. Please feel free to open a new support topic if you have new questions or issues. Thank you!
