App panels - opening links in new windows/tabs

lars.hvile · September 12, 2021, 3:13pm

Hi there!

Is there any way to create link fields that open in a new window/tab, i.e. target="_blank"? I’ve tried both regular link-fields & markdown (using plain <a> tags), but can’t get it to work.

What I would really like is a more “complex” link field like

{
  url: string,
  label: string,
  openInNewWindow: boolean
}

Hi @lars.hvile,

We have this in our plans, but sadly can’t give an ETA now. There will be an update in changelog when it’s ready to use.

Hi,

Thank you for being so patient.

From now on the link field supports 2 ways to display a URL:

string
object with required value property for URL, plus extra label and external properties

We are looking forward to getting feedback.
