Hi,
I’ve have added a hyperlink in a markdown widget to another page. The page opens in another tab / window. How do I get it to open the page in the same window / tab ? Does anyone know?
Kind regards,
Henri

Hi Henri!

By default, Markdown links open in a new tab. It is possible to use HTML in the Markdown widget and you could add the target attribute to specify where to open the link. You’ll want to use _parent or _top as the target attribute in order to open the link in the full body of the window.

<a href="https://www.getgrist.com" target="_parent">getgrist.com</a>

I created an example document with the different target attributes so you could see how each works: Community #3044 - Grist

Let me know if you have any follow up questions!

Thanks,
Natalie
