New browser tab when clicking on external link button?

[NeverSimple]

Hello,

If I use the Amahi dashboard and click on any of the 'external link buttons' (web search, help & all of the footer buttons) the page opens in the same browser tab and the dashboard is gone. If I click on my installed apps the links opens in a new browser tab.

If I'm somewhere in setup > networking > settings and want help for ie. the router setup I click 'Help' and the WIKI page opens in the same tab (and the dashboard is gone). If I go to setup > networking > static IP's, click on a name and click on WOL (the word, not the icon) the WIKI page opens in a new browser tab.
so the same logic is not always applied.

This doesn't seem browser related (tested with IE and Opera). Maybe it would be better if the 'external links' also opened up a new browser tab.

It's often very confusing when you have (several) browser tabs with ie. the amahi forums and the wiki, on which one you have to click the 'back' button (several times) to get back to the dashboard....

To summarize: I would like the external links on the dashboard to open up a new browser tab.

this is not too hard to implement, and consistency is important.

if you could

a) file a bug
b) specify as precisely and comprehensively as possible the changes you suggest

it would go along way, offloading the devs

a) file a bug

Done. Bug#647

b) specify as precisely and comprehensively as possible the changes you suggest

Didn't know how to be more specific, so I 'copied and pasted' the above post
