Links open in new window

[agm3dc]

Since opening a link means losing your place in the timeline, it would be fantastic if links opened in new windows. Thanks again for the awesome tool.

Are there any links on the view page that we don't want to open in new windows? If not, it's trivial to add

<base target="_blank" />

to the page head.

I think it ALWAYS makes sense to open in new window. I'm virtually code illiterate so not sure that answers your question.... thx for your help.

@djw I think all links within the part of the page that would be embedded (i.e. timeline, map, footer) should open in a remote window but those in the navbar i'm not sure about ...

I think we could just try and see if that causes any problems ...

We've been putting links in the descriptions, which is what I was referring to. Here's an example:

@rgrp On the view page, I can't see any links which aren't present in the embed. If there are any links we want to open in the same window we can explicitly state target=_self.
