Open External Links in New Tab | TEC News | WP Dashboard Widget

[ad_1]

Hi @generosus ,

Thank you for reaching out.

I recognize how annoying this must be; however, I’d like to note that even WordPress’ Events and News widget links in the dashboard is also opening in the same tab (see https://somup.com/cZXFhKJODK). Nevertheless, I’d be happy share your feedback with our product team for consideration on our future roadmap.

Hi @tristan083,

I researched this topic further. It appears the current, acceptable practice is to always open links (internal or external) in the same tab with a few exceptions.

Here’s a great article explaining why.
