+++ title = "Links with target attribute" tags = ["links"] draft = false [blackfriday] hrefTargetBlank = false +++

This link (to Hyperlinks chapter in Org manual) will open in a new tab as it is annotated with target="_blank".

Here's the same link but with target="_self" annotation. So clicking it will open that link in this same tab!

Here's the same link again, but this time there is no #+attr_html annotation. So the behavior of clicking this link will depend on the browser (typically an external link will open in a new tab automatically).

Image linked to image with target attribute

ox-hugo Issue #133

{{< figure src="https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/test/images/org-mode-unicorn-logo.png" width="10%" target="_self" link="https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/test/images/org-mode-unicorn-logo.png" >}}

Above is an hyperlinked image with the HTML attributes set as #+attr_html: :width 10% :target _self in Org.

• The width attribute of 10% must apply only to the image, and not to the link.
• And the target="_self" attribute must apply only to the link, and not the image. So, clicking that image will open the linked image in the same browser tab because the target is set to "_self" (Hugo v0.37+ --- fixed in hugo PR #4382).

Here's an inline hyperlinked image with the exact same HTML attributes: . So, clicking this image too should open the linked image in the same brower tab.
