[OzMOSS] RE: Hyperlink Field that forces opening in new browser window
Hi All, I have a number of hyperlink fields that we would prefer to render natively so that they opened in a new browser window. Can anyone advise on the best way to approach this as generically and (hopefully) as simply as possible? I guess I've considered such things as custom field types, but don't have a feel for how simple / complex this approach would be.

If this is a one-off thing, can't you just use SharePoint designer to turn the web parts into XSLT web parts, and edit the xsl for those fields?

RE: [OzMOSS] RE: Hyperlink Field that forces opening in new browser window
The real question is - do you only want to do it in one list, in one site? Do you want it part of the template, but pointing to specific fields? or do you want to be able to specify different settings in each field, everywhere?

We are doing all of our deployment via features, and to date, we've achieved all of our requirements via custom content types / fields alone. I'd actually specifically been avoiding SharePoint Designer for this sort of work, but perhaps my reluctance to do so, and understanding of the best way to use SD for this sort of customisation prior to feature based deployment is flawed.

Hi Ishai, The custom content types we have (about six of them) all inherit from Workflow Task, and at the moment we're displaying and editing them using the standard display and edit forms. Of the hyperlink fields, one points to a new document generated during an earlier step in a currently running workflow. The other link we want to add / make visible, is to the list item whose creation initiated the workflow. By default this column is hidden in the display and edit forms of the task list.
