javascript [removed] in new tab

Question

I am diverting user to some url through window.location but this url opens in the same tab in browser. I want it to be open in new tab. Can I do so with window.

Answer 1

Rather going for pop up,I personally liked this solution, mentioned on this Question thread JavaScript: location.href to open in new window/tab?

$(document).on('click','span.external-link',function(){
        var t               = $(this), 
            URL             = t.attr('data-href');        
        $('External Link')[0].click();

    });

Working example.
