    Hello

    Is it possible to add an attr target=”_blank” to post list in wordpress dashboard. Or a solution to open on click a post type (form the list) to a new tab to edit it ?

    at the moment I have this :

    add_action(‘admin_head-edit.php’, ‘wpse152971_edit_post_change_title_in_list’);

    function wpse152971_edit_post_change_title_in_list() {
    add_filter(‘the_title’, ‘wpse152971_construct_new_title’, 10, 2);
    }

    function wpse152971_construct_new_title($title, $id) {
    //print_r(title);
    return $title;
    }
    but I just hit the title and not the entire post link tag.

    Thanks

  • Hi, brukevin, if you’re interested in modifying the post actions i.e. the edit button from the edit,quick edit,trash,view etc options, I would take a look at the post_row_actions filter.

    Here is some sample code I created that adds a new option to edit the post from a new tab:

    add_filter( 'post_row_actions', 'tab_row_actions', 10, 2 );
function tab_row_actions( $actions, $post )
{
    if( get_post_type() === 'post' )
	{
		$edit_tag = "<a target='_blank' href='";
		$link = admin_url( 'post.php' );
		$edit_tag .= add_query_arg(array('post' => $post->ID, 'action' => 'edit'), $link);
		$edit_tag .= "'>Edit in New Tab</a>";
		$actions['edit_new_tab'] = $edit_tag;
	}
    return $actions;
}

    If you want to edit the post titles themselves, I would take a look at this topic from StackOverflow and edit it to fit your needs:
