How to open link on new tab?

[igorroc]

How do I configure so every link opens with target="_blank" ?

Heya @igorroc 👋
Generally the convention is external links are _blank, and internal links open in the same tab.
This can be done through https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-external-links

If you want every link to open in a new tab, you could create your own plugin (more on that here: https://unifiedjs.com/learn/) and take inspiration from how remark-external-links uses hProperties https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast-util-to-hast#fields-on-nodes

But I've tested and even external links are opening in the same tab

Can you share an example of what you tried?
Trying out the plugin in a sandbox like: https://codesandbox.io/s/remark-external-link-y7dmz7 and https://codesandbox.io/s/remark-external-links-joz83m both work as expected.

Hello @ChristianMurphy , how can I make it works in a react-markdown element?

Same as the selected answer 🙂
