Quill: add attr target='_blank'

[spirityy]

when i insertText use formats 'link'
how can i add attr target='_blank' into the link tag?

There isn't a way to do this right now. It could potentially be a config option though. Do you want this to be the case for all links or just particular ones?

[spirityy]

All links
This is a very useful configuration about user experience,, why not develop interface and not modify the source code?

For what it is worth we do this server side. There's not way to enforce something like this client side since a user can always alter the data before it is submitted.

A config option would be great for this. +1

I made an attempt at adding this as an option when initiating a Quill object. I'm not completely happy with the implementation as it involves passing the option through a number of functions. As I'm not too familiar with the plugin, it's possible that there's a better way of achieving the results. It's a starting point at least.

Here's my commit:

Let me know how it can be improved. Link targeting is a feature that I'd like to see in a future version.

Thoughts on this @jhchen?

I agree with the concern with solving this by special casing an additional parameter. I think once the ongoing effort to support custom formats is complete, this customization will be trivial to implement.

Any updates on this? Seems like a handy feature.

The recently announced beta of Quill does this now. For those who need further customization, modification of the Link blot is as easy as extending it and modifying the create function.

so dumb question, did this ever become an /option/ or is it now instead of all links are same tab all links are new tabs? kinda lolling to myself over here trying to use it in a cms and every single link on the site to internal pages opens in new tabs.
