[RFC] Links to a document don't allow target="blank"

Greetings!
Currently, when inserting a link in a rich text field, if "Link to a Document" is selected it's impossible to specify "Open in new tab".
This is possible when selecting "Link to the Web", so it seems like a bug.

Can something be done about this? It's causing my team problems, as we use "Link to a Document" frequently inside articles to recommend other articles, but we don't want users to close the current article if they click them.

Thank you

hey @pietro.aimone. Currently, the "Open in new tab" option is available for web links but not for links to documents.

Just checking in to see if this is in the plans for a future update or if we should consider handling media links differently in our code instead?

Hi @Christopotamus ,

There are no plans to change this yet. So, implementing something on your side is the only way to move forward for the moment.

A workaround could be to include a boolean field to add this extra option:

But I know this isn't ideal.

If there are any changes here, we'll let you know.

Thanks.
