Open link in a new background tab (where user remains on current tab)

[malekaixmischke]

Hi everyone — I’m trying to set up a workflow where when a button is clicked, it’ll open a webpage in a background tab.

The goal is to get the same functionality as “Right click → Open Link In New Tab” (where the user stays on the current tab and the new tab opens in the background) but accomplishing this with a single left click.

I’ve asked GPT for some javascript to solve this, but no luck there. Anyways, lmk if any thoughts - thanks a lot!

Lmk if any thoughts I’m basically trying to re-create the “command+click” functionality when you click on a link

You just cant do this, the browser block this kind of JS nav actions to prevent malicious scripts

Ah got it! That’s what I’d been seeing as well from research and was curious if the Bubble community had figured out work arounds, since this seems like a really helpful feature for most apps. Noted!
