Bug: Links in HTML component always open in same view

[christian-konrad]

Describe the Bug

Links in the HTML component always open in the same view, even when target="_blank" is present.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add HTML view and add link with target="_blank"
2. Deploy form to Tasklist (or test in forms playground)
3. Clicking the link opens it in the same tab

Expected Behavior

Links should always open in a new tab

Environment

• form-js 1.7

I'm fixing this directly in web modeler, as we don't really want to make assumptions within form-js about how those links should redirect. It's up to the implementer I reckon to choose.

[christian-konrad]

@Skaiir makes sense, but also take care of Tasklist here, and it should not sanitize target="_blank" I believe

[Skaiir]

This has been updated in web modeler and merged. It still needs updating in tasklist.

@Skaiir can we move this one, was it updated on tasklist?

[Skaiir]

Let's move it back to the backlog for now.

Actually we ended up fixing this in tasklist as well with the new release, so this issue may now be closed.
