I am pretty sure that before the last .13 GUI release the target of deep-links where not overruled by a default _blank. I really want this to be a setting or ignored. We use quite some deep links to get from pieces of HTML to the next functionality in the Universal GUI. Now they all end up opening new tabs/windows. This is not wanted.

Hi Freddy,

Although this can be very usefill, this is securty wise very dangerous to keep supporting this. We don't prefer the UI in the same tab being taken over from a custom HTML field. Especially not when a random user can do this in data which is afterwards available for other users. 

We have to think of a secure/controlled way of offering support for this. Maybe an alternative type of HTML control, which users can not edit or configure the html in the SF.

Can you report a ticket for this?

Best regards, Erik Brink
