Link to a generalPage, open in new tab?

I currently have a webPanel in the issue view (atl.jira.view.issue.right.context) with a link in it to a generalPage. I can use the javascript API to link to that generalPage: AP.navigator.go()

Is there a way to make that link open a new tab?

Depending on how you display the link, you might try to construct it on your own and create standard <a href="" target="_blank"> link.

As far as I know, the AP.navigator.go() does not allow to open anything in new window/tab but I’m curious if Atlassian can confirm that.

Ah, great idea. Do you know what the best way would be to get the outer domain name (customer.atlassian.net) from within the addon iframe? I tried with relative URLs but that opens a new tab with my addon domain.

If you use standard Atlassian stack, then {{hostBaseUrl}} is available in hbs files, which can next be added to your page/iframe meta through <meta name="hostBaseUrl" content="{{hostBaseUrl}}"> and retrieved in app JavaScript.

Using javascript API solely, I do it with AP.getLocation() and regular expression to extract hostBaseUrl. May be there is better way though.

Thanks, I ended up using a combination of both of your advice. Had to use AP.getLocation because I’m not using the standard Atlassian stack:

First get the origin (https://blah.atlassian.net)

window.AP.getLocation(location => {
          const url = new URL(location)
          this.baseUrl = url.origin})

Then use that to generate the full URL:

getNewTabLink (requirement) {
        return `${this.baseUrl}/plugins/servlet/ac/my-addon-name/my-addon-name`
},

Finally, used target="_blank" in the a tag, using the URL generated in the previous function.

I too ended up with same solution,

for Jira this is fine
for Confluence we need to append /wiki (context path)

and do you know if the context path is customizable ?

Just wanted to say thanks for the workarounds. :+1: Too bad we cannot do sth like

AP.navigator.go("projectAdminTabPanel",
      {
        addonKey: environment.addonKey,
        adminPageKey: myPageKey,
        projectKey: context.jira.project.key,
        projectId: context.jira.project.id,

        **target: '_blank'**

});
