Open Link in New Window

Yes, you can edit the settings. Once you set the link, click on the pencil icon to Edit the link. Then click on the gear icon to open the pop-up, which will offer the checkbox to open in new window.

You could also always go into Text view mode and edit your links, then add the target=”_blank”> tag to each link you want to open in a new tab.

I am using 4.7.3 and do not have a problem selecting “Open link in new tab”
There may be a javascript error or a conflict from a plugin.

You can add target=”blank” to the href code.
