I have a dashboard where a custom html block shows data in a table.
One of the columns contain a URL link.
I have tried different targets for the link like \_top and \_parent but can only get it to open if I right click and open in a new Tab.

Hi @Lars_Andersson,
I have opened a ticket with our engineering team to add the pop-ups permission for this block. I will reach out when this request has been implemented.
Thanks!

Do you know if this could be a long wait?
I’m hoping to get the project I’m using this in done early next week.

@Lars_Andersson,
Sorry! We try not to promise exact dates in order to stay honest with you. However, this is in the next release which will be out within a few weeks.

Hi @Lars_Andersson,
That is correct; this was fixed with our [latest Platform Update](https://www.losant.com/blog/platform-update-blob-attributes-time-at-value-aggregation-mqtt-broker-at-the-edge).
Thanks again for your patience and suggestions!
Julia

Hey @Lars_Andersson,
Good day. As Julia mentioned, this was fixed within the last release. If you’re still having issues, please provide more detail.

I have a link specified as follows in one of those blocks, but when clicking it, nothing happens.
` ${row.start} | `

@Lars_Andersson,
While using the Chrome browser, when you click the link, do you get any errors within [Chrome Dev Tools Console](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/console)?
If so, please include screenshots.

Hey Lars,
With this update, only `_blank` is supported. Allowing top-level navigation using `_parent` and `_top` provide a way to create malicious dashboards that we cannot allow.
