1. From an HTML Section - HTML Template

In your HTML code, at the end of the URL, if you wish to open in an external browser, add ?gbOpenExternal=1
The links must be in the following format: <a href="https://www.yoururl.com?gbOpenExternal=1">Your text</a>

Note: The extension "?gbOpenExternal=1" can’t be added with the “URL” template.


2. From a CMS Section
