"Open in New Window" Not Working for Link

Hi all, I could use some advice on fixing a link on my website (the link for Broadway World). I'm trying to make it open in a new tab instead of diverting from my website.

When I go into the link editor, I can turn on the option to make it open in a new window, but that setting never saves. It always defaults back to opening in the same tab.

Has anyone else encountered this problem/figured out a solution?

Thanks!

Hi,

What is your site url?

Hi, the page is Romeo & Juliet — Avery Banks (avery-banks.com)

Thanks!

If option doesn't work, you can add this to Settings > Advanced > Code Injection > Footer

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() { 
		$('.html-block [href*="broadway"]').attr('target','_blank');
	});
</script>

I'm having the same issue, did you manage to fix?

All links, or all external links only? 

If all links, use this new code

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() { 
		$('a').attr('target','_blank');
	});
</script>

What if files do not open in a new window? I tried this code, but it doesn't work for files. The same problem with the option 'Open in new tab', I click and it doesn't save.

Can you share link to page where you use files? I can check its id easier

Maybe instead of a code injection...Squarespace could just make the toggle button work? Crazy, right? I simply want the materials visitors downloaded to open in a new tab. This isn't a big ask. There is already a toggle specifically for this...but it doesn't work. It would take a dev at Squarespace an hour to fix this...

I agree. Having the same problem. PDF does not open to a new tab. Every time I toggle on, it does not save correctly.  https://youareloved.one/ebook

I have the same problem and it is driving me nuts. 

I am on Sonora template and I have forms for people to fill in to download a PDFs. 
The form works but on hitting the submit button the pdf opens in the same tab (😨😨🫣😳)!

Double and trebled checked the toggle and it looks on, but still is not doing what is supposed to do!

Has anybody found a solution that actually works?

Grateful for any insights..
