Atlassian Update – 3 September 2019

Hi everyone,

We've added the ability to open external links in a new tab in your browser and made this option default. However, if you like all links to open in the same tab, you can easily change this in YourUserProfile > Profile > Preferences > External links.

The functionality will be available starting with Jira 8.4.

Thank you for voting and commenting on this suggestion.

Feedback Policy:

We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

Some users need to have external links in Description / Comments to open in new browser window.
Looks like this should be per-user configurable.

Workaround
Use the middle-click on your mouse if you have a three-button mouse, ctrl-click on Windows/Unix, or cmd-click on Mac.
