Can you provide more details or a screen shot? What "open in new tab" or "new window" links are you referring to? Those options are provided by the browser when you right click on an link ![Screen Shot 2020-08-12 at 10.37.10 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/2/92ef62461ec21b9123e8a888aa8a3b14430a6b70.png) ---

Yes, I'm aware that it's a browser feature. I'll explain the problem perhaps that'll help. Kibana index pattern offers a filed to be treated as a url and takes in a url template with {{value}} to be passed. I have a report that uses this feature. I have a react app in which, kibana iframes are embedded. When I "left click" on the link for a given {{value}} everything works fine. However, when I right click on the url link for a given {{value}} and say " open In new tab or new window", The url on the browser becomes [https://domain/app/kibana#/visualize/edit](https://domain/app/kibana#/visualize/edit)........ Due to this, now all the visualizations, dashboards in their "raw" kibana form is open for users which is a problem. I need to avoid this and keep the users within an iframe window. One option I thought is to return a 404 from nginx when the url has a "Kibana#" bit this breaks the app completely. Another option I thought was to somehow disable "open in new tab/window" in kibana. If this is not possible, I would like to know if there are other options. ---

We are in a similar situation. Any workaround identified for this? We want to disable "open in a new window" for the iframe link of the dashboard. ---
