Want to choose whether to open a link in the same window or a new window

In the new editor, all links open in a new window by default. This often isn't practical for us, so want the choice.

It is now possible to specify whether links open in the same window, or a new window, using the new toggle in the link toolbar. As always thanks for your input, and let us know any feedback you have!

remove "target=blank" from html

Links automatically create "target=blank" code which I have to clean up in my CMS, this is such a pain and adds extra time! can you make it optional?

This is now in progress! Check out a small prototype here, and let us know what you think: https://invis.io/QBQHTK2F2Y7#/346556111_Item_Editor_-_Link_Icon_Clicked

planned
This is something we very much plan to bring back, so I'll move it to 'planned' now.
I can't confirm when it will be complete, but it's in the backlog now. You'll have the choice to open in the same tab or a new tab.
Thanks so much for all the input here 🥂

I'd also like to have a better interface for email links so we can add subject line and not have to remember the 'mailto:' prefix as well.

Please include this with the planned update

Best practice is to open in the same window (https://www.nngroup.com/articles/top-10-mistakes-web-design/ ) BUT there are definitely times when you want the option to open in a new one too (one of our business units absolutely needs this functionality).
