[FEATURE_REQUEST] Allow setting a target of `_top` on items

[mdcollins05]

Is your feature request related to a problem? If so, please describe.

I use a Firefox extension to set my Dashy page as my new tab page. In doing so, it uses an iframe to display the website. I'd like the links to open in the new tab, so I use the item target option of "sametab" but it doesn't break out of the iframe. This results in the URL bar being blank (which is a feature of the extension) while navigating to the item I've clicked on.

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally, I'd be able to set a the target to _top. Additionally, setting a default would be awesome, as all my items would have the same setting on them.

Priority

Medium (Would be very useful)

Is this something you would be keen to implement

Maybe

Heya @mdcollins05, I've implemented this in #292 :)

• You can now set target: top to use _top (as well as still newtab, sametab, parent, modal or workspace)
• You can also set defaultOpeningMethod within appConfig to one of those options, which will be applied to all items that don't have the target specifically set

Hope that helps :)
