E-Resource links in the holdings record should open in a new tab or window #285

EIU - I suggest that eresource links in the holdings record open in a new window in Vufind 4.1. I've been using 4.1 heavily for several days to look at ebooks, and it is difficult to get back to the search after getting several clicks into an ebook.

URL links in the Results list open in a new browser tab, but on a single record page the URL links open in the same browser tab when clicked from: 1) "Online Access" of the bibliographic display 2) "Internet" section 3) Holdings tab

Can we make it so these links on the single record page also open in a new tab instead of the same tab?

Example search with ebooks to see the behavior on the results page vs. the single record page: https://vufind4.carli.illinois.edu/vf-eiu/Search/Results?lookfor=EBSCO&type=AllFields&filter%5B%5D=collection%3A%22EBL_pda-eblown%22

KNX - It would be really lovely if, after clicking on a link to an e-resource, the link would open in a new tab/page. That way one doesn't lose one's place in the catalog search. RT 98459

KNX continued- In VuFind .6 the link opens in a new tab/window. I think it's preferable for users to have the links open in a new tab/window. RT100556
