How to put a popup video link in an assignment?

When I create an External Link within a module and check "Load in a new tab", the created link does not navigate away from the current page (although it may create a new tab or window) when clicked.

How can I provide a video link in an assignment that behaves the same way? If I just add a link through the Canvas editor or in HTML, clicking on it navigates away from the assignment.

Thank you.
