      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.

      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.
