Open link in new window. Web App Builder GP Widget.

Question

I am using the WAP Developer Edition and have a geoprocessing widget (out of the box) widget that uses python and returns a hyperlink string as an output parameter. example:

Load into database

The python creates this OK and the hyperlink works but the target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" part of the string is ignored so it opens in the same window. I want it to always open in a new window. I confirmed this by using the "inspect" in my browser. Is the WAB doing something to remove this functionality in the hyperlink? Do I need to dive into the javascript files in the widgets\Geoprocessing folder?? If so, where!? Capture.JPG LessThanTest.zip mohannainar1_1-1638190720233.png

I am also struggling with this problem. What would need to be changed in the resultRendererManager.js in order to fix this?
