Implemented Very Small Request

[CadmarLegend]

Heya~

So, just foreword, but the request I want to make is quite small, and can also be kind of regarded as petty... I still want to make it be implemented, though.

Could hyperlinks in chapters or anywhere on the site be directed to a new tab? Currently, all the targets of the links are staying on the same page as the one where SH might be in, and that makes it a bit hard to go look at that and then continue on whatever you were doing before. I know you can, before clicking the link, get a menu with the option to open it in a new tab, but it would be much easier to have the feature implemented into the site directly, especially on mobile platforms.

What I mean is that I want it so that the linking be something like this:

<a href="URL" target="_blank">Hyperlink text</a>

of course, I'm not proficient in coding and don't know how much work that would take, so if it seems too petty don't mind it~


Edit: it seems like this was already implemented.

The thing you suggest is already implemented afaik (The target). Works for me, too.

so, when you click on a story's hyperlink, you get sent to a new tab?

Yup. Inspecting links in browser also reveals the requested target="_blank"

Though for clarification: Are you taking about the SH main page?

I'm talking about SH indeed. And all the hyperlinks in stories posted.

I'm not getting what you got... try clicking the hyperlink in this one-shot.

It's in the A/N

Ah

The thing is that SH already does this, but only for any external links.

And tbh I think this is best. On browser you can press a key (Usually CTRL) to skip the context menu.
The reverse does not seem to work at all (wanting to follow that link without leaving the current open), forcing you to close it manually.

In addition, many of the mobile browsers I know hide tabs to maximize screen space while going back is usually bound to the "Back" button, which is a lot easier to trigger, but would stop working with new tabs afaik.
