Change Default Link Behavior
By default, external links are opened in a new browser window in HTML / HTML5 output. To change the default value for all external links the layout settings have to be updated. There are four available options:
-
_blank - Will open the link in a new browser window. Default setting
-
_self - Will open the link in the same browser window.
-
_parent - If the link is nested inside other frames, it will open the closest frame (one level up) in the browser window.
-
_top - If the link is nested inside other frames, it will open the initial webpage (the topmost / outermost frame) in the browser window.
