Thinking out loud:
For any Link from react-router-dom or tag just add target='_blank'

@ztefanie we had the same discussion a few years back, see https://chat.tuerantuer.org/digitalfabrik/pl/rj7ars9mmfbg8na47eyz78z5be.
In the end, we decided to keep opening external links in the same tab. Perhaps we should check if we actually think that we should change this now. Personally I agree that it probably makes sense though.

yeah i remembered this too, but as both of our designers agreed with the target group feedback that this would be an improvement, i think we have enough input / expertise to do it.

@bahaaTuffaha Yup, perfect, do you want to take on this one? You'll have to figure out how to get the target into the RemoteContent :)

[bahaaTuffaha]

RemoteContent? 🤔 we either adjust the content (my guess is from cms)😇 or inject some JavaScript to webview 😈

[LeandraH]

The file is called RemoteContent :) We could ask the CMS team to adjust this but I think it's more of an App behavior.
