Openlink always open a new TAB

I notice openlink always open a new window or TAB. This impacts user experience as they need to allow pop-ups. Some users may not know this and assume nothing happened.
Is there any way to prevent this default behaviour and only allow it to open in the same window.

Thanks.

You could use a Web Embed to keep the user within the app.

thanks Jeff. Web embed is working fine. My use case is a payment gateway. I can reach the payment gateway’s site and process payment and be directed to the gateway’s front end … However, I am unable to re-direct to Glide app. The error message is “refused to connect” as below. Any further advise please.

So the embedded payment gateway is trying to redirect back to your app from…within your app???

I guess that leaves two options:

  1. Don’t let the payment gateway attempt to redirect back to your app because you are already in your app. Just close or hide the web embed.
  2. Build your own href html link with the appropriate target and display it with a rich text component.

You can’t embed a payment gateway for many platforms (like Stripe and Square…), you have to create a payment flow inside the Glide.

I have a working sample here:
