  Hi Eric Miller,

  Thanks for your great question and sharing in the Community. 

  We have a snippet that you can check out here: 

  1. https://github.com/pendo-io/snippets/tree/master/resourceCenter/resourceCenterOpenURL

  The snippet will trigger a URL to open in a new tab, but you can change the behavior to be in the same tab in line 4 by removing the 'blank' target:

  window.open("https://example.com/",'_blank');  would become window.open("https://example.com/");

  Hope this helps!

  Howard Lio Thanks, but I was looking specifically for info about the Resource Center module called Announcements and including a hyperlink within the announcement that stays in the same tab. That snippet above is for making an entire module into a hyperlink.

  I'm curious about this as well. Default opens new tab. How to make link from Resource Center announcement  like open in the same window, that's the question.

  Here's a workaround to the lack of control over whether an inline text hyperlink in a Resource Center announcement opens in a new window/tab or not:

  • Add a custom code block to your announcement
  • Use the HTML tab to create your linked text. It could be placed under an existing text block (appearing as a new paragraph line). OR you could just recreate all of your text content in the custom code block and abandon the out of the box text building block.
  • Here's sample code you can use to force a URL to open in the same window/tab. I tested this in a Resource Center announcement and it worked:
