Hey, 

We are sending a monthly newsletter for a customer of ours (Volandis). We are having some issues when people click on the button (in the browser version). 
If someone clicks on the button for example 'bouwspraak.nl' (see dump), the link opens in the same window (the same thing happens on regular pages with the buttons opening in the same window). However we want the link in the button to open in a new window, so the newsletter doesn't disappear. 
There is no option for the button to select an open in a new window, could you help us?

Kind regards,
Eric Muller

Hi Eric

No, Rapido does not support that. I can have our service desk contact you and make you an offer on implementing a new checkbox for opening the links in new windows on this installation?

Hi Nicolai,

I would rather make a feature request for the option to open a button link in a new window.
Most (all) of our customer would like to open button links in a new window, or at least have the choice to do it.
Not only in newsletter, but also in website. Or is that possible in the current situation?

Hi Nicolai,

Thanks for you reply, point noted about the usibility studies.
Nevertheless some customers are still willing to have it ;-), would be nice to have it in future in case more DW partners would like to have it.
