New tab URL resource + pathway

Hi,

I want to use the URL resource in a pathway course and that the URL opens in a new tab.

What can I add to my URL (like a target="_blank" when we use HTML) if I need to use the "display link" so I can force my user to open in a new tab when they click?

Would the workaround be "use a page and add HTML code"?

Thanks,

Joyce

(Why is Totara removing activities & resources and functionnalities to resources in pathway mode anyway? We already lost folders and labels…)

Hi Joyce

Using a page resource and adding a link in the editor with new window would be a workaround.

The label activity is not supported in the Pathway format so isn't able to be used.
