lol.

atually no, that doesn't work...
that makes every single link open in a new tab.

not good.

i dont know what the hell a sidebar_link is.. it never sounded useful to me , so i ve never checked it out..

We are speaking of the "post type" sidebarlink right ? I assume it gotta has its own class, if it doesnt you can add yours for sure, from widget settings..

so check the existing class or add a class for your sidebarlinks

and

1.call jquery, or include jquery in your page.
2. include this anywhere in your page

<script type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function(){
       
        $(".widget_core_coll_link_list").click(function() {   
            strUrl=$(this).find("a").attr("href");       
            window.open(strUrl);return false;         
        });

         
    });</script>

edit: idk why, but you cant add custom class to sidebar links, i believe you are gonna have to use the default class which is "widget_core_coll_link_list", updated above accordingly.

yea i wasn't sure what it was either, until i needed to add a link haha. and yea, it's the post type one.

i'll be sure to try this. thanks :)

oh i happened to be glancing over my old posts and thought i would update this since i figured it out.

basically i assumed that the text one types into the "link to url" box would basically become a variable, we'll call x, b2evo sends that to the code with the html to link to that site (x).

i.e.

<a href="x">Link Title</a>

so i just thought ahead and made my x this:

www.yoursite.com" target="_blank

leaving the closing quotes for b2evo to add.

works perfectly :)
hope it makes sense lol

Easier than your tip is my tip, I found out now! :)
When you publish a new "Advertisement" in the field "Link to the site/url" just put the following:

http://www.yoursite.com target = "_blank"

And the announcement of the Sidebar will open in a new window!

Good ads!
