Hi everyone,

I have the following web resource added to my Solution. It is basic external HTML link to a SharePoint site:

I have added the web resource to my form. However, the URL link opens inside the model driven app itself rather than launching as a new tab in the browser. Could you anyone share any advice on how to open a new tab in the current browser when clicking on an external URL link?

Hello,

Can you please provide the code behind that url?

I believe adding of the attribute target="_blank" should solve your issues. Check this - www.w3schools.com/.../att_a_target.asp
