Pages / Branches to be opened in new tab

vbrown Public · Feb 19 2024

Idea Summary
When pointing to another page in APEX in most cases it's impossible to use built-in functionality to go to a new tab - instead of continuing in the current one.

Use Case
In situations where users would want to remain on the page. For example, with a ticketing system you wanted to find a way to allow users to go to a ticket via a branch process it's not possible to do this in a new tab without a javascript workaround.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
APEX is meant to be low-code. Allowing users to select a ‘New Tab’ checkbox which submits the page / takes the user to a new tab rather in their existing tab.

You can currently do this with a javascript workaround but this is not a good approach especially in a low-code environement.

This request is likely a duplicate of FR-2814.

    This would be great for external links - i.e. links that open a different application / sharepoint document / website that are not a part of my Apex application. 

    It could be done with target="_blank" in “link attributes”.  So maybe a quick pick in the editor would do it, too.

    This other idea is similar that is roadmapped, perhaps this ties together with it https://apex.oracle.com/ideas/FR-2814

    Thanks for providing that link, I didn't see this was already created - apologies for the duplicate :)
