Accepting named target for router-link

[service-paradis]

What problem does this feature solve?

Right now, if we want to open a link in a new tab (or page), we can use target="_blank".

In some cases, I prefer using named target when opening a new tab. This way, if we click multiple times on the same link, it will only refresh the named tab already opened.

Accepting something like target="my_report" would be great. Right now, the target attribute is added to the a tag, but the link is not opened on another tab.

What does the proposed API look like?

Maybe we shouldn't listen to the click event if target is present, treating the anchor as a regular link and not using pushState at all

For the moment, you can use the v-slot api:

<router-link
  to="/foo"
  v-slot="{ href }"
>
    <a :href="href" target="my_report">Link</a>
  </li>
</router-link>

it works now, but can't be compiled with lang='tsx' (vue-router 4.1.6):

error TS2322: Type '{ to: { name: string; params: { id: string; }; }; target: string; class: string; }' is not assignable to type 'IntrinsicAttributes & AllowedComponentProps & ComponentCustomProps & VNodeProps & RouterLinkProps'.
  Property 'target' does not exist on type 'IntrinsicAttributes & AllowedComponentProps & ComponentCustomProps & VNodeProps & RouterLinkProps'.

skiped type check by:

export const RouterLinkX = RouterLink as any;

then use RouterLinkX to replace RouterLink in
