Open link in the new tab in PDF report generated by @journeyapps/pdf-report

Is it possible to make the link in the generated PDF file opens in a new tab?

I tried the html code below, but it doesn’t work (still opens in the same tab).

< a href=“{{link}}” target=“_blank”>Open file</ a>

Thanks in advance!

Once the HTML is converted to a PDF, the PDF does not handle hyperlinks in the same way as the HTML would. Unfortunately there is not a direct way of solving this. It may be possible to embed JS in the PDF, but your mileage may vary depending on the PDF viewer.
