Opening link in a new tab

Is it possible to add target="blank" to Markdown links?

For example I wish to have the following URL open in a new browser tab when I left click: [link to website](http://www.website.com)

Cheers

For anyone else that ends up here via google search (like I did) and didn’t notice this in the docs, you can now use the prop linkTarget to achieve this like so:

<ReactMarkdown linkTarget="_blank" children={...} />

See the docs for more info.

You can use a custom renderer:

function LinkRenderer(props) {
  return <a href={props.href} target="_blank">{props.children}</a>
}

<ReactMarkdown
  source="Click [here](https://espen.codes/) to visit external site"
  renderers={{link: LinkRenderer}}
/>
