Hello,
unless my client doesn't want that "feature" I always place this code in my templates to force external links to open in a new tab.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("a").filter(function () {
return this.hostname && this.hostname !== location.hostname;
}).addClass('external').attr("target", "_blank");
});
</script>
Now I have read that there might be safety issues and negative impact on quick rendering of a page.
To avoid those it's advisable to add rel="noopener"
to the link.
I don't know however how to change the code so that rel="noopener"
is part of the resulting link.
Hope someone can help me, I'm no coder.
