    The AEM Image component supports linking to other sites. Open the dialog for the Image component and then paste in the URL of the external website into the "Link to" field.

      It is working for me. Just use below code snippet to the image tab and make sure you remove the "editor.html" from the URL.

      Eg: external URL: https://www.facebook.com/

                          <linkURL

                                      jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"

                                      sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/pathbrowser"

                                      fieldLabel="Link to"

                                      name="./image/linkURL"

                                      rootPath="/content"/>

      Thanks ,

        Hi

        As mentioned by Andy, the OOTB Image component can be hyperlinked to any external site.

        Please face a look ta the image here:

         

         

        The "link to" section accept the link for external site.

        Thanks and Regards

          The link to will work for the first time, but when I am trying to modify the link to another website, it is opening the previous one or the whole page is going down. I Icleared cache, restarted the server, still the same problem.

          Also how to display the website to open in a new window ?

          Seems like some caching issue.

          Please publish the page, and see is there any error coming up ?

          Clear the browser cache and also look at https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/dispatcher/page-invalidate.html

          I hope this will help you.
