Hi,

When using the **JQL Editor** component inside a **Forge Custom UI app** , the **“Syntax help”** link does not work. Normally it should open Atlassian’s JQL documentation, but inside Forge the navigation is blocked by the iframe.

This creates a poor UX since users cannot access JQL syntax help directly.

My question:

- Is there a way to make the link work correctly inside Forge apps?

- If not, could any alternative mechanism be implemented that would fix the current behavior?

Thanks in advance for your guidance!
