How to write a Custom HTML Link to open in new tab

Hello @danm52 !
Thank you for contacting us.

I was reading your previous conversation, and I understand it.

In this case, it sounds like you’re missing the Target=blank attribute. This will make a link to open in a new tab/window.
Read this post to learn how to use the HTML links: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp

I hope this can help you.
Let me know if you have other questions related to Elementor.

Regards.

Thanks Alain,

Actually, it does not work as shown, obviously I must be doing something wrong or maybe not explaining the situation properly. Here is more detail.

The menu item that I want to open on its own tab is “Diane’s Blog” which is a submenu item under https://dianetaberpublishing.com/published-works

I’m using Elementor and the theme is Euphony. I currently have the URL pointing to Diane’s Blog located as a custom link in the “menu structure” section of Euphony (please see image below). Only a URL address is then needed to redirect the user to Diane’s Blog, but maybe I need to be using a “link” to make this work.

I tried inserting the URl as shown in the W3 Schools article, but when I insert the attribute into the space provided and “save”, the URL just disappears by itself.

Not sure if the screen shot of where I insert the URL will come through, but here it is anyway.

I hope I’ve been able to properly articulate the issue. Any thoughts are appreciated.
