Is it possible to have the open link action open a link in the same window or use Markdown as a work around? Webview would also solve this but links in question cannot be embedded. Thank you so much for the help! ---

I wish!!! I’ve mentioned this to Glide Engineers as well…a way for us to set the target of the new window. ---

I don’t think anything has changed for this behaviour.
