If there was no target="..." for external links, then clicking such a link would immediately exit the TiddlyWiki you are viewing (unless you had unsaved changes). This would discard whatever context existed (e.g. currently opened tiddlers, search keywords, and any $:/state/... tiddlers). I suppose there might be a use-case where that would be appropriate, but in general it seems like it shouldn't do this by default. I suppose it could be useful to extend the "[ext[...]]" syntax to permit specification of a target, i.e., "[ext target=... [...]]". If this was added, then you could write "[ext target=_self [...]]" to force a link to open in the same tab/window. However, if you really want an external link to open in the same tab/window, then you can already use standard HTML syntax, which is simple enough: <a href="../20200703224247/index.html">Open file</a> Perhaps if you explain your use-case a bit more, it might shed some light on why you want this behavior in the first place. -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
