I use CKEditor in Drupal 8. I want that every link will open in a new tab of browser. I want that the code look like this

    <a href="#" target="_blank">my link</a>

But if I use the link Button in editor I do not have choice for target blank. I only can fill in the url of link and the code looks like this

    <a href="#">my link</a>

Any idea what I have to do for changing this?

You can use the Linkit module and add a "target" attribute at admin/config/content/linkit/manage/default/attributes/add

It has two options:

  • Selectlist with predefined targets.

Dialog with options

  • Simple checkbox to allow links to be opened in a new browser window or tab.

  • I prefer Linkit because it provides an easy interface for internal linking with wysiwyg editors by using an autocomplete field.

    Linkit 8.x-5.x has removed support for link attributes. The module's page advises: "If you are in need for link attributes, please see D8 Editor Advanced link", as posted in chosen solution here.

If you want every link to open in a new window, it'd be better to not use the Editor Advanced Link module, but instead add a filter to your text format that sets target=_blank on every <a>.

  • How can I do that: "add a filter to your text format that sets target=_blank on every <a>"? I don't see that kind of filter when edit a text format.

    You'd have to create one. Unless drupal.org/project/extlink already does this, it sounds like it might.
