Open link in new tab

Hi,

In my app, I have an Image within a repeating group.
When users click on it - I want the image to load in a new tab on their browser (these will usually be documents and pdfs of sorts).

Currently, when they click, the app will navigate to the image and it will take the whole screen.
Is it possible to open the image in a new tab?

Can’t seem to find the option in the workflow.

Cheers,

You have to use a “Link” element in order to have access to that capability, as far as I know. I think I’ve seen a few threads about it, there might be a workaround that involves additional HTML or Javascript.

hmm okay - can you display an image as a placeholder for a link element?

When I run into things like this case, I usually make a Link element cover the surface of the image thumbnail, then delete all the text out of it. Then, I group the link and image together to make sure they’re always occupying the exact same space. It works. Feels hacky, but I haven’t had any issues yet.

ahaha that’s brilliant- will do that until someone with a less hackey way comes along!

if your not 100% attached to a new tab, CSS Tools has open in a new window, you can control the size and tool bars. Makes for a nice wrapper to a document being popped off the screen,
