Hello,

Is there a way to tell reviewboard to open new links in a new tab?


I found this very old ticket marked as WontFix: https://hellosplat.com/s/beanbag/tickets/592/

But I think it's worth revisiting.


Thanks

Hi,

Browsers have the ability to open links in new tabs generally through a key combination (like Command-click on Mac, alt-click on Windows, middle click on Linux). You should be able to do this here.

The bug report you noticed is actually about something different. In the early days of Review Board, we had a link at the top of every page to report a Review Board bug to our issue tracker, and that bug report was requesting that to open in a new tab. It wasn't about bug IDs you have filed on the review request.

You are right, CMD+click will achieve the same thing but it's one more thing to remember.  

When there are multiple links in review say -- multiple bug IDs, design docs, log link it's easy to forget. IMO this will improve user experience may be a toggle in user profile "Open links in new tab" would be really helpful.
