Hi, I'm tryng to use a target="_blank" on an "href" element to enable download on an other tab. But it is not working. The component is within a content fragment. Is there a known issue on this function?

Thank you in advance,
Sarah

Hi @sarahbo2 ,

Download in new Tab? isn't it same it just download?

Do you want to open in new tab?

Could you please clear.

Thanks

yes, the client would like that when you click on the download button it opens in a new tab.
Is it possible or does adobe has restrictions on this functionality?

It should work.
If link is getting removed then you may check antisamy or XSS sanitization mentioned in other reply.
If link is there and still not working, you may check if JS is overriding the behaviour on click.

Or share some more context/snippet if you still face the issue.
Thanks
