Hello,

You plugin is awesomely simple ??
Perfect to simply provide meaningful links to users instead of explaining where to go in the forest of links in WordPress menus ??

Is there a way to open a link in a new tab ?

Thanks

Is Dashboard quick links widget 100% compatible with PHP 8.1 ?

I suggest you introduce a [divider] shortcode. In my copy of the plugin, I changed the code below line 162 as follows:

foreach($linklist as $a){
			if(strpos($a,"[divider]") !== false){
				$newarrayline = '[divider]';
			} else {
				$newarrayline = explode('|', $a);
				$newarrayline = array_map('trim', $newarrayline);
				if(sizeof($newarrayline)<3) continue;
			}
			
			array_push($finalarray, $newarrayline);
		}

		if(trim($list) != false) { ?>

			<table class="skip-dashboard-link-widget">
		<?php foreach ($finalarray as $dqlw_links){ 
			if(is_array($dqlw_links)){?>
				<tr valign="top">
				<td scope="row">
				<?php if(!empty($dqlw_links[3])){ ?>
				<i class="fa fa-lg <?php echo $dqlw_links[3]; ?>" aria-hidden="true"></i> &nbsp;
				<?php } ?>
				<?php echo $dqlw_links[0]; ?></td>
				<td><a href="<?php echo $dqlw_links[1]; ?>"  class="button-primary skip-dashboard-link-widget-button" target="<?php if(trim(esc_attr(get_option('dashboard_quick_link_widget_open_link')))=='on'){ echo "_blank"; }?>"><?php echo $dqlw_links[2]; ?></a></td>
				</tr>
			<?php
			} else {
				if($dqlw_links == '[divider]') echo '<tr><td colspan="2" style="padding:15px 0;"></td></tr><tr></tr>';
			} ?>
		<?php } ?>
			</table>
		<?php } ?>

Inserts 2 blank rows. Could be a horizontal line.

I love this plugin – thanks very much. It would be amazing if i can place simple lines of instructions below each link. Ideally there would also be able to contain HTML. What do you think?
