When inserting hyperlinks into text, it would be incredibly helpful to have the option to set the link to open in a new tab. This functionality would enhance the user experience by allowing for smoother navigation and better content engagement. We want users to be able to easily return to original page they were on before they clicked the link and opening in a new tab facilitates that.

Feature Request: Option to Open Hyperlinks in a New Tab
Right now, the only way i’ve found to accomplish this its manually editing the HTML Code in the text editor (you can also do this in Back office):
If you open a link in the code editor as shown above, the example default for a link is :
<a href="https://communities.gainsight.com">Gainsight Comunity</a>
You need to add the following to the link for it to open in a new tab:
target="_blank" or target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer
This is the exemple of the link with the added code for explanation purposes:
<a href="https://communities.gainsight.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gainsight Comunity</a>
If you do this the link will open in a new tab. The downside is that you need to manually edit all the link in which you you'd like this behavior.
😊
Would be great if the development team could add a toggle option for this in the editor, to either open in a new tab all links, or open in the same tab all links.
😉
New Idea→Open
The “Insert Link” workflow leaves much to be desired.
1.) Cannot lookup another article
2.) Cannot insert a link to an anchor/bookmark within the same article
3.) Cannot set HOW to open a link
