Lookup links open in new tabs

[Mark Bassig]

Hi Alex,

I was wondering if you can advise/suggest what to do here. In SharePoint List A, the lookup column appears as link to an item from SharePoint List B. When I click on the lookup link from SharePoint List A, I would like the link to open in a new tab.

I tried a number of ways however did not work.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Is this in a list view or in your display form?

This is in a display form with tabs.

You can add this to your Custom JS to force all anchor tags to open in a new tab:

jQuery(".ms-formbody").on("mouseover","a",function(){
    jQuery(this).attr("target","_blank");
});

If you only want to target one specific field you can change it like this:

jQuery("#dffs_YOUR_FIELD_INTERNAL_NAME_HERE").on("mouseover","a",function(){
    jQuery(this).attr("target","_blank");
});
