There is a way to do this...but it would make it so
everything always opens in a new window/tab, and that's not really a behavior that I'd like.
Why would having everything always opening in a new window/tab be a problem?
Now when someone clicks an internal link to another SSO topic, he/she is transported away from the home topic, and then must backtrack to the home topic.
If having everything open is not preferable, please tell me more about (URL= ), which you mentioned in the
Cross Reference topic. I'm looking for the BBCode equivalent of
target=_blank.
I've spent quite a bit of time researching this now, and I don't really have a great solution. I tried implementing that "newwindow" BBCode you linked to earlier, but it requires manual futzing around with what you type in; it doesn't just allow you to highlight the URL and then click the button to activate. You have to type in a bracket, type in the text, then submit. It's not something I'd think anyone would want to hassle with.
The only solution I found to make ALL links open in a new tab/window was a post from about 13 years ago, which was so many versions old that I don't have confidence it will work. The reason they make this so challenging is because it "violates" web standards. Now, I don't care much about that, and you probably don't either...but it does make this very difficult to pull off. I will keep an eye out for something, but for the time being I think the other sites in a new tab is as far as we're getting here.
