The embedded links I use will open up a web page — in the same tab or window. This requires clicking "back" to return to the BPL page — which can be annoying. Is there a different way of linking that will open up a different tab or window?

If you can look at the source you can see how this one was done. I grabbed this off another page.
Mar 1, 2010 at 9:55 am #1580054If you include the attribute target="_blank" in the HTML anchor tag, it should do this…

This is fairly simple in your link put target="_blank" and it should open up in a new window.
Something like this https://www.alpackaraft.com
Which looks like this a href="https://www.alpackaraft.com" target="_blank" https://www.alpackaraft.com /a
You know, plus all those carrots
Also for other peoples links on a windows machine, you can right click and click open in new window/tab.
For mac people Apple (command key) Click will open the link in a new window/tab.

Here is a quick note on it also.
