      Problem Definition

      As of today, the default Confluence Cloud behavior is to open links to external sites (such as https://www.atlassian.com) in a new tab, and links to the same Confluence site (such as https://charlie.atlassian.com/wiki) in the same tab.

      Currently there is no way to mark specific same-site links to open in a new tab.

      Suggested Solution

      Allow for same-site links to be opened in a new tab, either by using a UI checkbox or appending a value to the URL.

      Workaround

      Use browser-specific shortcuts to open links in a new tab.

      For Chrome:

      • Right-click and choose "Open Link in New Tab"
      • Hold Command (for MacOS) or Ctrl (Windows and Linux) and click the link
