[opencms-dev] rendering external links with attribute target="_blank"

[Wiesner, Daniel]

I think the only possible solution is to modify the 
org.opencms.staticexport.CmsLinkProcessor class. I added  this to 
processLinkTag(LinkTag linkTag)

if (linkTag.getAttribute("target") == null && !link.isInternal()){
    linkTag.setAttribute("target","\"_blank\"");
}

Now all external links without a target attribute will be opened in a 
new window.

            case C_PROCESS_LINKS:
                if (linkTag.getAttribute("href") != null) {
                    CmsLink link = 
m_linkTable.getLink(getLinkName(linkTag.getLink()));

                    if (link != null) {
                        linkTag.setLink(processLink(link));

                    if (CmsStringUtil.isNotEmpty(targetUri)) {
