How to make internal links open in a new window

  • It took a lot of trial and error but I figured out how to make custom internal links open in a new window. It’s really easy and doesn’t require that you edit the plugin’s code.

    All you need to do is add “target=”_blank”” after the link. Note that there are quotes that open and close this phrase, which means there are two quotes after blank.

    Here is an example of what a custom link would look like that opens in a new window:

    Google | https://google.com “target=”_blank””

    I hope this helps anyone who wants internal links to open in new windows.

    I just figured out how the plugin wants us to add the ability to open an internal link in a new window and since I can no longer edit my original post I am adding the instructions here. I do NOT recommend that you do what I originally posted because doing so will cause a link to post to itself.

    Go to “Options” and look for “Link Template”. It should look like this by default:

    <a href="{url}">{keyword}</a>

    Edit it so that it looks like this and your internal links will open in new windows:

    <a href="{url}" target="_blank">{keyword}</a>
