When using the Redirect Tool to add links to the course navigation, links set to open in a new tab require a second click. Instead, it should open in a new tab with no extra click required. There is an extensive discussion of the behavior in the community dating back to 2016 (https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Question-Forum/Redirect-Tool-auto-open-in-new-tab/td-p/105...) and a related discussion of external links from modules (https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Idea-Conversations/Automatically-open-new-tab-for-links-external-...). I hope by submitting this as an idea it finally gets addressed. In our courses, we add course menu links to forms and to other systems students need to access; the extra click is a significant deterrent for students, and we struggle to get them to completed the linked tasks.
