Opening external links in new tab

Ask the community
1

Is there a way to force external links to open in a new tab (or even better, a modal)? I have a series of rich-text fields in a list-details block and the links open in the same window, forcing users away from my site.

I found this: https://community.softr.io/t/open-text-block-links-in-the-same-tab/263, but I’m not technical and I couldn’t adapt it to my purposes. I tried just switching out ‘_self’ for '_blank" but that didn’t work. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Does anyone have any ideas how to do this?

With the new block update, I got this to work for my application. Be sure to put it in the spot of your details page.

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("a").attr("target", "_blank");
});
</script>
