The UI-Link node needs a target mode to be selected

Open gayanSandamal opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Description

  • User should be able to select the target mode and this feature allows user to select the link opens in a new tab or in the same window
  • The default value for the target attribute should be "_self" as it's the current behaviour

Below 2 options are enough to have at this stage

  • _blank
  • _self

Have you provided an initial effort estimate for this issue?

@joepavitt are there anything to add or alter?

I already created the issue for it: https://github.com/FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard/issues/1120

I'll close that one and we can keep this one open

When presenting the option to users in a dropdown/select, make sure its low-code friendly. Users won't know what _blank means.

Noted, I will use much simpler terms such as "open in a new tab" and "open in the same tab"

An option to "open in named tab" would be nice too if it can be squeezed in. This permits repeatable behaviour when neither "same window" or "new tab" are suitable.
