Install fresh Drupal once you complete the installation successfully, on front page there is link which points to User Guide to start building your site. Currently when we click on link it's getting open in same window. It will be good if we will open that link in new tab.
Problem/Motivation
When Drupal is freshly installed, The main page where the link for the user guide is should open. When link for user guide is clicked it should open a a user friendly way which allows user to glance between tabs.
Proposed resolution
This will provide convenience for the user as they can flick between tabs which helps them work more productively
Remaining tasks
Is now in 'needs review' stage by the Drupal test bot. All documentation and information are attached
User interface changes
user guide" link is clicked on it should open in a new tab. This increases the functionally of the user interface

cilefen commentedCould you retitle the issue to be more specific?

dev.patrick commentedThis should do the needful, User Guide link is added to 8.5.x prior to this I don't see traces of it, so patch may fail to 8.4.x or below.

xjmThanks for the patch and testing!
I'm not sure about this change. We don't usually use
target="_blank"for external links. I also thought the best practice nowadays was no longer to hardcode link targets, but to allow the user to choose whether to open content in a new window or not.We have a handful places in core that use
target="_blank", a couple in the installer and a couple in the datetime module, but the vast majority of our external links to references do not use it.Tagging for a usability review.

yoroy commentedI'm in favor of opening in a new window. I don't think it's a good look that the first link we offer after succesful installation is taking you away from your succesful installation.
