Open “View” link in new tab

    99% of the time, when you click “View” to see a broken link on the page, you also want to keep the WP admin open in order to fix the link.

    Therefore, it would be natural if the “View” link in the “Source” column opened in a new tab.

    Just my personal opinion.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @ant123

    I hope you are doing well.

    Our developers are working on some big updates for the broken link checker plugin, we can’t give an estimated time to release this new Engine but can you use this script as a temporary solution?

    <?php

add_action( 'admin_footer', function(){

	global $pagenow;

	if( $pagenow == 'tools.php' && $_GET['page'] == 'view-broken-links' ){
		echo "
			<script>
				jQuery(document).ready(function(){
					jQuery('.column-used-in a').attr('target', '_blank');
				});
			</script>
		";
	}

}, 21 );

    You can use it as a mu-plugin https://wpmudev.com/docs/using-wordpress/installing-wordpress-plugins/#installing-mu-plugins

    Best Regards
