Confluence Database - is there a way to setup links always to be opened in new window?

[Mariia Bov]

Hi everyone

Now I am struggling with the trouble that links (within the link field type) are always opened internally. Sadly the site I'm linking is tableau and it seems that it isn't supported to be opened within the confluence site. After the click on the link there is grey failed to load page - screenshot.

The links itself are working - if I just rightclick and select "open in new window" - it works perfectly.

The question is - is there some switch - which I could turn off - so that my links would not try to open within the confluence site and give me clean redirect without an error page?

Around half a year there wasn't such problem - the links worked even if just click - no grey error page. It feels that recently there were a bunch of patches applied to Confluence Databases. Maybe someone knows something about it?

Very appreciate any help.

Hello @Mariia Bov 

• Do you have any other plugins that are causing this issue in Confluence, expect Tableau?
• When you open the developer tools and select Console, are there some errors being shown?

Thank you.

1. I didn't find any other links that failed to open except tableau links (for example google links open just fine) though tableau links are actually the main ones in this database (since it's a Report list).

2. When I open confluence database (before clicking links) there is one suspicious error shown 
And after click on a link there is a few others

@Mariia Bov thanks for the image. 

This looks like a tabelau error looking from the both error messages.This should be something that Tabelau vendor team needs to look for. I believe the vendor is Tempo. Their support page can be found here: https://tempo-io.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/6/user/login?destination=portal%2F6%2Fgroup%2F1065%2Fcreate%2F1444
