YOU NEED TO ALLOW THE ABILITY TO OPEN LINKS IN NEW TABS!!!!!

@schristensen3 

Thanks for sharing this idea. External links created through the New Rich Content Editor (RCE) automatically open in a new tab, and that's detailed in How do I create hyperlinks to external URLs in the New Rich Content Editor as an instructor? As this is existing functionality, we've archived the idea.

We note that the idea description doesn't specify the location of the external link, so if the intent of this idea is something other than the behavior of external links that are created through the RCE, please read through How do I create a new idea conversation in the Canvas Community? for guidance on writing singularly-focused and specific ideas that provide problem statements and use cases.
