When a community member includes a hyperlink in a topic from the WYSIWYG text editor, is there a way for that to default to open in a new tab?

Hi
As far as I’m aware, this is the default behaviour for any links that cause you to leave the forum you’re currently on, but not for any internal links. You don’t need to do anything in particular to make this happen. Simply insert the link as usual and the platform will do the rest.
Thanks

Based on this, I did some testing on our platform and discovered a variance in behavior between different types of topic posts:
- For conversations, questions, articles, etc - external links are opening in a new tab
- For ideas, external links are opening in the same tab
So the issue seems to be around ideas. At least on our community. Multiple ideas with links embedded were opening in the same tab, whereas every other type of post I tried was opening external links in a new tab.
