[bug - minor] link in spot text should open in new window
andy-d-palmer opened this issue · 4 comments
currently it replaces the current window so the whole map has to be reloaded.
minor as immediate workaround is to right click and 'open in new tab/window'
This is how it works now, either right click or Ctrl-click (Win), Cmd-click (Mac).
Doesn't it work for you?
ah, got it, you don't like exactly this behavior.
we decided on it because this is how http links work in a browser.
however, I agree, having a warning before leaving `ili would be good.
I'll close this issue and open a new one (not prescribing how it should be but rather documenting the problem)
It’s pretty usual for links to open a new tab/window. I would say it’s even expected in the case where replacing the current window could require a lot of processing to be redone. It’s not a huge issue and I guess most people will know to ctrl/cmd-click
