We are currently working on a plan to add this feature, but have no timeline to share at the moment.

A year later, we are still waiting for this feature. Not sure why it is so complicated, as you can do this with HTML links.

It has been almost a year since the ADMIN comment above. "IN THE PLANS"
Will this be implemented in the near future?

Yes, please!! It's a very simple and logical option.
Modern interface it's too much limited.

Is there any update on this feature being added? I would highly recommend all link features have the ability to be set to open in a new tab or not. I see it is possible for text links but not within any other feature (hero, quick links, etc.)

I would like to specify whether to have it open in a new tab or over the current tab. Thank you!

Please add this feature! Not all our staff know to right click and open in a new tab and they get quite lost when something does not open in a new tab.

Looking forward to this feature! It will help us stop using regular text web part and use the GREAT quick links web part to place our links and be able to open in new tab. Optional: Wonder if outside links will be respected and open in same tab if this is unchecked?

So basic feature and Microsoft is prioritizing on other complex stuff, many of them are stuff nobody asked for.

This is basic UX. When opening a PDF I don't want to take a user away through a page them might only be half way through.

The whole web part should have this option.
