Ha thanks Deepak,
This is interesting (and surprising), so we should change ALL target="_blank" to
target="external" rather for consistency sake
If everybody agree I will do so

Hi Devanshu,
I think target="external" is correct.

Instead of calling your window _blank, you can give it a name of your
choosing. Then all URLs will load in that same tab (as long as you use the
same name).
For example, if you have a policy of loading all external links in a
separate tab, you could call that tab, say, external. Then each link that
contains target="external" will open in that window/tab. Doing this ensures
that new windows aren't going to be popping up every time a user clicks on
a link.

Thanks & Regards

Hello,
I agree with Jacques and Aditya, we should set all external links with
target="_blank". I have also mentioned the same on the JIRA ticket
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-9665>.
I think the intended use is rel="external", which was somehow written as
target="external", refer: https://www.w3schools.com/Tags/att_a_rel.asp
Hope this helps!
Thanks & Regards,
Devanshu Vyas.

AFAIK "_blank" is the only acceptable target in HTML 5 because frames
are deprecated. The website is modern and built on an HTML 5 template.
Hence every target should be "_blank"

Hi,
Aditya and I want to change all "external" targets to "_blank" but are
unsure of the reason of "external" targets
Could someone please confirm it's not an issue and maybe explain why we
have
"external" targets
Thanks
Jacques
