Link opening in new tab

[stackedCG]

Hi Tauri team, just want to confirm tauri links are being opened as a new window for both the default and the tauri app itself

Sample link below:
<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tauri.app/plugin/dialog/">app</a>

I am not sure if that suppose to happen since they both open at the same time.

Thanks in advance!

I have no idea what you mean tbh, can you try to explain it more or even provide a recording?

I have not used the opener yet, but by the looks of it, it might not work on my case since the links are dynamically added depending on what link was added.

Or is there any solution that will allow me to open universal links to the default browser only instead of opening it on the Tauri app.

Oh wait I think I have a workaround for this now, I will update here once completed, thank you!

The opener plugin should be what's opening the links in the browser automatically (no need to use its js apis). The create-tauri-app template for example has it installed by default. At the same time it should prevent the link opening inside the app so i'm trying to figure out what's going on here that causes your behavior (and only in your app)

It's working now, I did some fusion of the pointerdown as well as the click event in order to block the default for the link, thanks for suggesting the opener API I totally missed that, I was actually looking at the shell thank goodness that we have that ahahaha.

To anyone who will have the same issue as me, I used this one, it did take a little bit of digging on the docs to find this one:

import { openUrl } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-opener';

/*Take note use the openUrl function/method*/

// opens the given URL on the default browser:
await openUrl('https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri');
