The behavior of our Link component in IE11 is exactly the same a standard anchor tag. The behavior you are describing is the standard IE11 behavior for _blank hrefs. Can you demonstrate how the link is supposed to act? The codepen below has our Link, as well as an anchor tag. They both act identical.
