Can links in the release notes open in new windows?

Is it possible to direct any links in the release notes markdown to open in new windows or tabs? Looks like Showdown supports this, but I’m guessing that option isn’t enabled, or there’s some setting that I’m not finding.

Hi,

Thanks for getting in touch! Unfortunately we haven’t enabled the _blank flag in our Markdown. I think it’s a good idea, so I’ve raised the following enhancement that you can track here.

I was able to accomplish the same result (to open links in a separate tab with just a left-click) by defining the following HTML in my release notes:
<a href="http://OctoUrl.com/" target="_blank">Link to Octo</a>

Otherwise you’ll currently have to Ctrl+click or right-click and select to open the link in a new tab or window.

I hope this helps! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions going forward.

Kind regards,

Kenny
