Open new tab instead of same window in sharepoint online
there's no OOTB setting to generally open links in a new tab.
- SharePoint will open external links in quick links WebPart or navigation automatically in a new tab
- In the SharePoint text web part you can define, how will be openned

Hi DaveMehr365,
thanks for your response.
I included a tiny/ short link to an external intranet page in the top navigation bar of my SharePoint.
I tried adding "web=1" to the end of the tiny link but it does not seem to work. While it opens a new tab, it does not route the URL correctly anymore but rather drops me at the dashboard of the intranet page instead of the specific sub-page.
Is there a way to use the "web=1" URL extension with tiny links?
Thanks!
Adrian

Hi ganeshsanap,
Do we know if this capability will be rolled out for quick links in a SharePoint site as well? I have a use case where I'd like for users to click on a quick link within a page and have a new tab opened for them to view the content instead of having the content loaded on the same window.

sharonleow This is requested by so many customers and it is one of the most wanted feature in SharePoint modern experience.
The similar feedbacks/ideas have been submitted on SharePoint feedback portal, check: Quick links open in new tab
This has been acknowledged by Microsoft but no ETA on feature rollout yet: We are currently working on a plan to add this feature, but have no timeline to share at the moment.
