Learn when and how to make links open in a new tab, and what limitations exist in Fourthwall
By design, Fourthwall links, whether added to your navigation menu, buttons, or rich text, will open in the same browser tab.
If you want a link to open in a new tab, you can use the custom HTML section and add target="_blank" manually.
Use “Open in New Tab” with Custom HTML
If you’re embedding HTML (such as in a Custom HTML block in your layout), you can use:
<a href="https://your-link.com" target="_blank">Link Name</a>
This ensures the link opens in a new tab or window. This is the only method currently supported for forcing new-tab behavior.
