Description

It would be nice if all links in the backend which link to wordpress.org, open in a new tab automatically... Instead of taking the user away from managing their website.

  • Resolution set to duplicate
  • Status changed from new to closed

We're going to close this, but work on this issue in another ticket. We talked about a handful of these "open new window" tickets as an accessibility team, and came to these conclusions:

  • no links should open in a new window (to be consistent throughout the Admin)
  • already made settings might be lost, so before following a link, the user must be warned like: “there are unsaved changes….”
  • an alternative, but complex solution would be that settings are auto saved before leaving a window
  • we should do a search on all links that open in a new window in the Admin

We'll comment with tickets #31363 and #31386, suggesting to close them. And continue to work on this issue further with ticket #23432.

@michael.ecklund Thanks for the bug report! If you want to continue work on this issue, head over to #23432.
