This is a feature request for the community forums. It would be nice to have links automatically open in a new tab rather than the same tab. Sometimes I get taken to the new link but want to go back to the forum, so I have to open another tab, or close that link and have to open another tab to go back to the forum. Thanks! ---

That’s a default that was requested a while back to be changed to how it is now. You can change the defaults if you want it to work differently. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/3/b3f3eb3843829f3cf22421d78d00f6904409e772.png) ---

If I want a new tab, I just Cmd-Click (I would imagine that Ctrl-Click does the same thing in Windows?) ---

i found it, this might sound silly, but does this have to do with the links of the apps (opening the links in the apps in different tabs of the browser) or the links in the glide community? Because i was trying to make the links in my app to always open in new tabs… ---

It’s the Glide community, not having any relations to your apps. ---

I don’t know the behaviour when you have installed the app, but if you stay in the browser I assume the “open link” action would open it in a new tab.
