[jira] [Resolved] (WICKET-6520) ExternalLink should offer possibility to open a link in a new tab/window

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-6520?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Sven Meier resolved WICKET-6520.
--------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee: Sven Meier

As mention the developer has plenty of options and AFIICS Wicket doesn't write "_blank"/"_top"/"_parent" anywhere yet, so we won't start now with this.

> ExternalLink by default opens a link in the same window however it is very common use case to open external links in a new tab/window.
> Of course It is possible to change this behavior by overriding onComponentTag method and do {color:#808080}tag.put("target", "_blank"){color}, but this generates unnecessary boilerplate code.
> I think that ExternalLink could have additional parameter in constructor defining whether this link should be opened in a new or the same tab (It could just put target="_blank" on a hrefs and formtarget="_blank" on buttons with _type="submit")._
