Sections > Right click > Open in new tab

This was a bit of a pain when I started using Umbraco as essentially the browser functionality is broken and doesn't work as expected. Not sure if it anyone else has noticed it or if it is worth fixing?

Links should be real links, with real, bookmarkable hashes to all the screens.

No javascript based links, all screen navigation should watch the browsers hash.

[Randy McCluer]

Indeed. The ability to link directly to the editor for any content node would be huge as well.

This is the minor mod that I've made to Umbraco.Web.UI\umbraco\Umbraco.aspx.cs

Around line 40.

string iconElement = String.Format("<li><a class=\"{0}\" title=\"" + ui.Text("sections", a.alias, UmbracoUser) + "\" href=\"#" + a.alias + "\">", appClass);

There's probably a good reason for not doing it like this but it works for me :-)

cheers,

Gary

PS Boy I hate the string manipulation being done - that's what the HtmlWriter is for

@Gary, we all hate the legacy code base! Luckily we are moving away from it :)

I'll make a note for v7 to ensure that we can ctrl + click a section to open in new tab
