You can Make Selected Links in a Links List Open in a New Window with Little JavaScript and content editor web part. Here is how: when creating links in the Links List, add #openinnewwindow on the end of each link that you would like to open in a new window. Add the content editor webpart, and place the following code in it: <script language= "JavaScript" > _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push( "PrepareLinks" ); function PrepareLinks() { //create an array to store all the anchor elements in the page var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName( "a" );
