Would it really be so hard to just add the “open in a new window” option to the open an external website workflow so we could use it with any element? The fact that this is only available on the Link element is silly and makes my life just a little more frustrating than it needs to be.

Yes, it would be. Browsers don’t allow opening new tabs from Javascript as it could be used to spam people by opening many windows.
Blame the bad people 20 years ago that had all these popups…

I guess we shouldn’t enable workflows for external navigation. How about adding a target="_blank"

@deliriousmiles There are multiple plugins with workflows that allow you to open a link in a new tab.

I want to add to this conversation a small tip. In all my apps I take time to examine and think is a link should be executed via an action or a regular link. See it always better for SEO to have regular links and if you need a workflow action then you can use another element like a button or text.
