One of the students at\u00a0a recent SharePoint class I delivered, asked:\u00a0“Where is the setting to have links in a SharePoint Links list open in a new tab?”<\/em><\/p>\n

Great question! I thought there had to be a checkbox or radio button setting\u00a0tucked away in Advanced Settings. I poked around, eventually giving up, and asking my SharePoint team for help.<\/p>\n

\"Links-List\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well surprise, surprise, there is no setting to have all the links in a Links List open in a new tab.<\/p>\n

This functionality can be turn it on for an entire site collection, entire web, or entire page via embedding a snippet of JavaScript code, but that is not the technical level of the audience of this blog post.<\/p>\n

I prefer to focus on simple solutions that end users can utilize to increase productivity with minimal effort. So, if you want links to open in a new tab, I recommend you train your staff to use one of the following methods:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Hold down CTRL button on keyboard before click on link with mouse.<\/li>\n
  2. Click on the link using the scroll wheel on your mouse.<\/li>\n
  3. Right click on the link and select “Open in new window” from dropdown menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Option 1:<\/p>\n

    \"CTRL_Click\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Option 2:<\/p>\n

    \"scroll-click\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Option 3:<\/p>\n
