AI workshop
join cohort #1
Here’s how you can open a link in a new window in Next.js:
<Link href={url}>
<a target="_blank">Click this link</a>
</Link>You first wrap the a tag in a Link component (the Link component provided by Next.js, and inside the a tag you add a target="_blank" attribute, just like you’d do in plain HTML.
The href attribute stays on the Link component, to play well with client-side routing.
