Open relative link in new tab does not work with instant loading #1609
Description
I checked that...
- ... the documentation does not mention anything about my problem
- ... the problem doesn't occur with the default MkDocs template
- ... the problem is not in any of my customizations (CSS, JS, template)
- ... there are no open or closed issues that are related to my problem
Description
Open relative link in new tab does not work.
[As specified in the checks I did remove the theme and check the behaviour using just mkdocs without any theme and the links are opening correctly in another tab.]
Expected behavior
Relative link should open in new tab.
Actual behavior
Relative link opens in same tab/page.
https://3os.org/markdownCheatSheet/links/#link_with_open_in_new_tab
This is a live site using the theme and when you click on Relative Link With New Tab you will see the behavior.
Steps to reproduce the bug
Option 1:
Create an .md file inside docs/ and add link to any page:
[link](../another-page.md){target=_blank}
or
[link](../another-page.md){:target="_blank"}
Option 2:
Create an .md file inside docs/ and add full link to a page on a site which has the same domain:
[link](https://yourdomain.com/){target=_blank}
or
[link](../another-page.md){:target="_blank"}
