Open External Links With Default Browser
-
<a href="https://www.google.com/" target="_blank">Google</a>
By default, this will open google in internet explorer if called from the webdialog (even if my default browser is Chrome). I would like to know how to tweak that to open links with default browser. SketchyUcation PluginStore opens links with default browser, which means it's possible to tweak it. Can anyone give an advice on how to do that? -
Pass the link back to the ruby plugin, then use
UI.openURL() -
What Jim said. I usually put a generic hook in my webdialogs that automatically redirect all links like that: https://github.com/thomthom/SKUI/blob/master/src/SKUI/js/ui.js#L96

Here is the code snippets, just so if anyone is interested later
