Open URL in new Safari tab with AppleScript

Question

Is it possible to use AppleScript to open a link in a new tab in Safari?

Answer 1

I found a way to open a new tab in the background with Safari.

tell application "Safari"

set the URL of (make new tab in window 1) to "your.url.net"

end tell

During the time I wrote this answer I made this

tell application "Safari"

try

    display dialog "Website URL" default answer "" buttons {"OK", "Annuler"} default button 1

    set theURL to text returned of result

    set netProto to "https://"

    if theURL contains netProto then

        set the URL of (make new tab in window 1) to theURL

    else

        set the URL of (make new tab in window 1) to netProto & theURL

    end if

end try

end tell

New version

tell application "Safari"

repeat

    try

        display dialog "Website URL" default answer "" buttons {"OK", "Annuler"} default button 1

        set theURL to text returned of result

        if theURL is "" then exit repeat

        set netProto to "https://"

        if theURL contains netProto then

            set the URL of (make new tab in window 1) to theURL

        else

            set the URL of (make new tab in window 1) to netProto & theURL

        end if

        display dialog "Do you want to open a new tab?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button "Yes"

        if button returned of result is "No" then exit repeat

    end try

end repeat

end tell

Any suggestions will be appreciate
