- Thanks a lot - I have now voted for this 🙂
- I voted for this as well. Note: there are several very similar 'open links in new Tab' posts. Truly asinine that this feature was taken away, yet within the Text web part you can check a box to open links in a new tab. Of course, they will probably take that feature away now also. 😉
- You can also now open navigation links in a new tab (or will be able to if it isn’t in your tenant yet). That said, accessibility guidelines generally don’t recommend opening in a new tab on behalf of the user unless not doing so would disrupt the flow of work. So just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Opening in a new tab can be confusing on mobile too. So, while I suspect these features will be available in other places in SharePoint Online at some point, that doesn’t mean it is always a good idea to use them. So while I agree that I want these capabilities, I am also aware that they have the potential to create really horrible user experiences when available to people who don’t fully think about the implications.
