Enable external link support for Custom AI Component

I contacted Support with the following issue:

“When I create a text with a hyperlink in the Glide AI component pointing to a website made on Glide, it opens a blank white page instead of the intended site. (hyperlink ‘Explore 2025 in detail’ on a screenshot)”

The response I received confirmed that this feature is currently not supported:

“I have confirmed with Engineering that the Custom AI component cannot open external links. It has to do with pop-up security. Just to let you know, what you are asking for is not a feature that we currently have. If it’s a new idea, create a topic and add your idea for others to vote on.”

I believe it would be highly beneficial to enable the AI component to support external hyperlinks, as this functionality is standard and works seamlessly in other components within Glide.

Also adding allow web share to the iframe would be amazing!
