Support Request: How to Open Hyperlink into a New Tab

Description

Good day, I have couple of websites services that having issues with browser, and so far, the working browser according to them is the safari, and for Edge and Chrome they have release a workaround that the link if open in a new tab will works. For our SiteKiosk system, I would like to ask how can I add the opt to open link to a new tab by "right-Clicking" and having selection to open to new tab?
or is it possible to just open internal hyper link in the page to open to a new tab instead of its own current page?

Thanks in advance and appreciate your kind assistance.

Hi Adryan,

Thank you for your inquiry. The context menu option to open a new tab is only available with SiteKiosk Online (right click). For SiteKiosk Classic, this is supported natively by code. Say an "a" tag (<a>) has the attribute target="_blank" will be honored if you have the tab bar visible (Show Tab Bar & Toggle Tab Bar Button in Browser Toolbar settings).

With no tab bar or full screen mode selected, a new window is opened instead. Without the attribute "target" in the HTML "a" tag, then discretionarily the browser will just navigate to another page without opening a new window or tab.

Best regards,
Andre.

Noted... thank you Andre.
Do you have some samples for this or in your support FAQ please? I have tried many different keywords, but I always end up on the wrong support post.

Thank you and appreciate your assistance.
