Can I configure a hyperlink to open in a new tab from the markdown item?

I tried using <a href="https://website.com/" target="_blank">Open in New Tab</a> but that did not work.

 

 

Thanks!

  Did anyone get that to work? I cannot get any displayform activity Markdown form item hyperlinks to work. I tried [linkname](url), <a href="thelink" target="_blank">linkname</a>, `<a href="thelink" target="_blank">linkname</a>`. I tried setting at design time and in the run time modifications as Assign activity form.Find(Of MarkDownFormItem)("Markdown1").PlainText = "<a href="thelink" target="_blank">linkname</a>". 

  Is there some sort of super secret syntax or is this a deadend? I should instead be using DisplayForm Hyperlink form items?

   

  Thanks,

  Wiley

  I'm not sure if this is intentional, but the "Group" form item in Essentials (xaml) workflow supports basic HTML.  If Markdown's not doing the job, you could try putting that HTML as the description of a "Group" item instead.
