Moving the issue forward requires implementers to express interest
Browsers such as Edge, Whale, Vivaldi and Arc ship split tab features, it is useful for users especially on some website like search engine result page, news feeds, document site, etc.
But currently, there is no option for web authors to target a link to open directly into a split tab. It would be great if there was a way to make
<a>
element andwindow.open
capable of opening a split tab or doing navigation in existing split tab.So we would like to propose a new target value called
_split
for<a>
element andwindow.open
to open split tab.More details can be found in the explainer.
We are soliciting feedback on this proposal, suggestions are welcome.
