External Links in New Tab

By default in Ghost, all links in your posts are opened in the same browser window. Sometimes you may want to open external links in a new tab. This can be done by adding target="_blank" and rel="noopener noreferrer" attributes to the link.

There is an API in the Format theme to add these attributes to all external links. You can use the following code snippet:

<script>
window.pvs?.addExternalLinkAttributes?.();
</script>

This code snippet adds target="_blank" and rel="noopener noreferrer" attributes to all external links. If you want to change the target and rel attributes, you can use the following code snippet:

<script>
window.pvs?.addExternalLinkAttributes?.({
    selector: 'a:not([target="_blank"])',
    target: '_blank',
    rel: 'noopener noreferrer',
});
</script>
