    Hi, I use your nice plugin for my side. But I cant found a option for opening internal links in a new tab / window. Is this not possible?

    Thanks
    Markus

    Hi Markus,

    When editing a block in the block editor you have an “Options” section in the sidebar on the right. There you can enable the “Open link in new tab” toggle.

    Hi,

    thanks for your help. Now I understand the problem:
    usualy I work with the standard wordpress editor. In this settings windows is no setting switch for “open in new window/tab”

    When I use the block editor and I edit VLP maked links made before in the old editor – their is also no settings switch

    Only when I set the links “new” inside the block editor – then I habe the setting switch for “open in new window/tab.

    Maybe you can make an update for the old editor mask.

    Thanks Markus

    We don’t plan on adding this option to the Classic Editor. Support for that editor is there for legacy reasons and backwards compatibility, but new features only come to the Block version.

    If a post was created in the classic editor before, you should have the option to “Convert to blocks”. Once you do that, the new options should be available to you.
