"Open outgoing links in new tab" setting not working · Issue #151 · apxltd/what-bugs
When the "Open outgoing links in new tab" setting is enabled, outgoing links are opening in the same tab. First noticed on 13-10-2016. WTDWTF topic: https://what.thedailywtf.com/topic/211...

It's a link inside an iFramely iframe. I'm not sure there's a way to do anything about this.

@boomzilla It's a one-box. Why is it in an iFramely? Is that just how NYTimes presents it?

"Onebox" is a discourse plugin. But the name stuck here. iFramely is the rough equivalent plugin for NodeBB. Depending on how the target site responds to the oEmbed request, you can get a simple link, some html that's injected into the page or an iframe, which as I understand it is kind of separate from "normal" page content. I don't believe that the source page can change the links inside of an iframe to make them open in another tab / window.

</ > FWIW, I think you can catch the navigation via JS and handle it via hacky, hacky shit. But that's a hacky, hacky solution and probably isn't worth it.

</ > so what you are saying is we should disable the iframely plugin?
