Custom Links, in the same window

[TLMondo]

Summary

Allow for Custom Links in the Module Bar to be set to either Current Tab or New Tab.

Basic Example

I've created a link to the Data Model section under Settings, but it opens a new tab.

Motivation

There are times we want shortcut users to specific area's of the admin ui, like Data Model, because they are frequently confused as to where it lives. It's a little unintuitive for a new user to think to go to the Setting section to then manage the model.

Drawbacks

None?

Alternatives

Create a stand-alone built-in module for Data Model

Adoption Strategy

Just add a drop-down, and default it to "New Tab" so that its easy to transition.

Makes a ton of sense to me. I see it is a tiny improvement on an existing feature, so lets move it to an issue ready to be implemented 🙂

Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm pretty sure that internal links are already opened internally 🤔 @TLMondo

What I mean to say is that the desired behavior already exists if you stick to common URL request patterns.

For clarification, even if this seems only marginal, but if the users are given the option to have external addresses redirected to the current window, a completely new request is created - that is not in the sense of the inventor of client-side outsourced user interfaces.

Ohhhhh right I totally forgot! Thanks for the reminder @Seinnd 🙂

Great. I was using full url (probably out of laziness), and saw other behaviour.
I've switched to /settings/data-model and it works. /admin/settings/data-model brings you to --> /admin/admin/settings/...
