I see the new post introducing the Commissioner's Note feature, which is nice, but is there a way to make the link open in a new tab/window? I added a link and tested it, but clicking on it redirects the user to that site and away from the Fleaflicker site. I've dabbled with adding the "target=_blank" after the URI in the link section, but it gets interpreted as being part of the link itself.
Is this possible? If not, any chance that functionality can be added?
When you click on the icon in the strip to add a link, you will get code inserted that looks like this: [](http://)
What you want to do with that is put your text that you want to be clickable in the first set of brackets, and then put your full URL that the text should link to in the parenthesis where you see http://. Here’s what it should look like when you are done:
Thanks for your reply. I must have mistyped the 'target="_blank"' when I was posting my original question. I just tested it again, using the following code (substituting braces), and it still opens in the same window, not a new window or tab:
At the time, I was interested in adding a link to a countdown to the NFL kickoff (last night), so it's not super important any longer, but it is functionality I think would be nice if supported.

What you need is not...
"target=_blank"
within the a tag, but instead...
target="_blank"
so {a href="somelink" target="_blank"}linktext{/a}
...substituting the proper tag brackets for { and }, of course (not used here in case they get interpreted...
