Open Link plugin

The Open Link is a very simple plugin, extending context menu with a possibility to open link in a new tab.

• extending context menu with a possibility to open link in a new tab,
• allowing you to open link with a ctrl/cmd click,

It also integrates with linked image2 widgets.

Browser Compatibility

Basically the same as CKEditor with one exception: opening a link with ctrl click does not work in Internet Explorer / Edge browsers. Pull requests are welcome.

Config Options

There are few config options available, you need to define them in standard CKEditor config object.

config.openlink_modifier

Specifies what modifier key(s) should be pressed to open the link. It's based on CKEDITOR.CTRL, CKEDITOR.SHIFT and CKEDITOR.ALT members.

You might also provide 0 as the value - it will cause any click to open the link, without need to press any modifier key.

You can specify multiple modifiers, e.g. having config.openlink_modifier = CKEDITOR.SHIFT + CKEDITOR.CTRL would trigger the link with CTRL key or SHIFT key or both of them being pressed.

Defaults to: CKEDITOR.CTRL

config.openlink_enableReadOnly

Determines whether this plugin feature should be available also in read-only mode. For backward compatibility reason this value is set to false by default.

config.openlink_enableReadOnly = true; // Allows opening links also while editor is in read-only mode.

Defaults to: false

config.openlink_target

Sets the target where new window should be open.

config.openlink_target = '_self'; // Will cause current page to be replaced by link click.

Defaults to: '_blank'
