How can you open the default SharePoint link lists in a new window?

In SharePoint, it’s easy to customize the List webpage, which consists of links to other documents, folders, sites, etc. Unfortunately, when you click these links, the default behavior for the page opens in the current browser window. That is, it does NOT open the page in a new browser instance. This turned out to be annoying for many users on my site.

Does anyone know how to open the default behavior in a new browser window?

I hope that this is something that can be installed in SharePoint, and not so that users need to configure some settings in their browser.

This is not possible with the default link list web part, but there are resources that describe how to extend the Sharepoint backend to add this functionality.

You can edit the page in SharePoint Designer and convert the List View web part to an XSLT data view. (right click + "Convert to XSLT data view").
Then you can edit XSLT - find tag A and add target="_blank" attribute

The same instance for SP2010; The Link List web page will not automatically open in a new window; rather, the user must manually click the Link Object link and select Open in New Window.

The option to add / insert Link withkin SP2010 will allow the user to manually configure the link to open in a new window.

Perhaps the release of SP2012 will attack this ...

Links tab ==> Change URL element ==> Under the URL (enter the web address) - enter the value as follows:

Example: if URL = http://www.abc.com ==> then the suffix of the value using ==>

  • # openinnewwindow /, '"target =" http://www.abc.com'

SO, the final value should be specified as ==> http: //www.abc.com#openinnewwindow/ , '"target =" http://www.abc.com'

DONE ==> the URL will open in a new window
