Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Default link target options in the new WYSIWYG editor

Hi Guillaume, We've had this discussion in the past already and Sergiu and others made a strong argument against doing this. Their point is that it's the user who should decide and all browsers have features to decide whether to open a link in the same page or in another page and it shouldn't be dictated to the user.

I think one solution would be to make this configurable. Then we need to decide what would be the default (off probably).
