Our previous LTI Component XBlock provides an option to "View resource in a New Window", which uses JS to launch a new window/tab. These capabilities were removed in Chrome v92. Chrome provided a temporary work-around which we now use in production. But we now need to design and implement a longer term fix. These issues have since migrated to Safari, and “before other browsers implement this change, which they have indicated that they will” we need to resolve this issue with something other than band-aids. Google Chrome’s and Safari’s move, however, is aligned with making iFrame technology more secure, which we can read as a signal that the industry will continue to advance in the direction of iFrames. This fix replaces the browser dialog with a custom javascript one.
#204.
