Link to target="_blank"

I have a circle icon on a page, and I’m having trouble getting an external link to work. I know the URL is embedded, but for some reason I can’t actually link out to the external site. Here’s the message I get:

From inspector: Refused to display ‘https://{URL HERE}’ in a frame because it set ‘X-Frame-Options’ to ‘SAMEORIGIN’.

I’m using page builder. When I edit the HTML to add target=”_blank” the change doesn’t stick – I’m guessing site builder ‘overrides’ the change.

Any thoughts???? Thank you!
