<p>When working with <a href=
"http://www.hannonhill.com/kb/External-Link/">External Links</a>
(ie Symlinks), there is no means of telling Cascade Server how to
open the link, so it will always be the same window.</p>
<p>Depending on how you are using the link, you can incorporate
ways to add the additional <code>target</code> attribute.</p>
<p>If you are selecting the External Link when adding a link within
a WYSIWYG field, you would simply use the <strong>Target</strong>
field when inserting the link to designate its target.</p>
<p>If you are using a Format to generate a list of links, such as a
navigation, your Format would determine how External Links should
be handled when you generate the HTML markup.</p>
<p>Additionally, you could add a <a href=
"http://www.hannonhill.com/kb/Metadata/#dynamic-metadata-fields">Dynamic
Metadata Field</a> to External Links that would allow users to be
able to determine whether the link should open in a new window or
not. Your Format would use this field when generating the
markup.</p>
<p>Please let me know if you have any questions.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p></div>Ryan Griffithtag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/357594142015-01-12T21:01:02Z2015-01-12T21:01:03ZExternal Link In New Tab<div><p>Hi Ryan,</p>
