Social links – can they open in a new tab/window

Just figured out how to do this myself, feeling a little silly for posting the question.

Just in case anyone else has this problem – go Appearance – Menu – then scroll to the top of the page and click on screen options. Under ‘Show advanced menu properties’ tick Link Target. Now when you look at the social media menu items a new tick box will appear which says ‘Open link in a new window/tab’ tick this box and you are sorted.

Awesome, glad you found the solution and thanks for sharing it so it will help others who find this thread in the future. ??
