    Awesome, thanks!

    Hi Alex,

    Thanks for the patience.

    I have just been alerted that this feature is only wired to work within links that are found in the post_content. We do not foresee adding this feature to widgets and I would recommend that you edit the links and add a target=”_blank” attribute to the links on your widgets to open them in a new tab.

    I hope this info helps.
