How can I create a hyperlink that opens in a new tab?

Asked on Oct 31, 2025

Answer

To create a hyperlink that opens in a new tab, you use the <a> tag with the target attribute set to _blank. This instructs the browser to open the link in a new tab.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    <a href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank">Visit Example</a>
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

The href attribute specifies the URL of the page the link goes to.
Using target="_blank" is a common practice for external links.
Consider adding rel="noopener noreferrer" for security reasons when using target="_blank".
