Open url in a new tab?

[pratapsu]

Marwan:

router.Redirect() opens the new url in the same window. Do you have any advice for opening the url in a new tab, or even in a new window?

Thanks,

Pratap

@pratapsu thanks for opening the issue. If JavaScript can do it, then GopherJS can as well. I haven't looked at the JavaScript API for that particular part but I'd be happy to accept a PR, otherwise I'll probably look at this in the next couple of weeks. Thanks!

I was able to modify Redirect() slightly to open a new window for the URL. But, the window contents would not render. (they would if I did what you do in Redirect()).

Here is the code I wrote:

func RedirectToNewWindow(route string) {
	js.Global.Call("open",
		route,
		"_blank",
	)
	refreshRoutes()
}

I haven't figured out yet how to have vecty actually render the page when I click on the URL.
Thanks for looking into this. I'll be happy to hear what you learn.
