Autolinks to target new tabs or windows

Option to choose where autolinks open, new or same tab or window.

Now it reuses tab or window, but I really hate it. Other vB links target new tab or window. For future version could you enable option for us to choose target in admincp?

And how can I change this now? What template I need to change?

Re: your thread here: https://www.vaultwiki.org/threads/5065/

For the next build, autolinks will open in a new window, since autolinks are usually unintentionally added and mainly occur outside of the wiki (somewhat external). Normal wiki links (using the BB-Code tag) will still use the prior behavior because the link is intentionally added as an internal link and can already be specified to open in a new tab on a link-by-link basis. The AJAX preview Javascript has been updated so that the "Read More" link is consistent with the target of the previewed link (current or new window).

OK, thank you. Is there a way to edit behavior of normal wiki links to make them by default to target _blank?

No, if you want to make normal wiki links target _blank, you need to use the BLANK flag with the BB-Code, as I mentioned in your thread on this topic. Otherwise, you can just open the link in a new tab using right-click.

So I guess you can't please everyone...

What can I do or what file can I edit to specifically make all links open in the same tab? I dislike links opening in different tabs unless they explicitly go to external sites. I can't believe it took me almost 3 months to notice this.
