WebHelp: scope="external" doesn't open in a new tab

[Bas10R]

Hello there,

Oxygen XML Editor, version 26.0.
I'm using a <lq> element with a set of attributes that reference an external link via a <keyref>, from a map appended to my regular content .ditamap.

The <lq> element:

Code: Select all

<lq format="html" reftitle="Introduction to DITA" keyref="oxygen-intro-dita"
                scope="external">text</lq>

The referenced <keyref>:

Code: Select all

<keydef keys="oxygen-intro-dita" scope="external" format="html"
            href="https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/specs/archSpec/base/introduction-to-dita.html">
            <topicmeta>
                <linktext>Introduction to DITA</linktext>
            </topicmeta>
        </keydef>

The output:

Unfortunately, despite using scope="external" in both places, clicking the Introduction to DITA link doesn't open in a new tab.

All other types of scope="external" references work correctly across my docs, for example:

Code: Select all

<p>For more information about using the tool, see <xref keyref="oxygen-user-guide"/>.</p>

Code: Select all

<keydef keys="oxygen-user-guide"
            href="https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/26.0/ug-editor/" format="html"
            scope="external">
            <topicmeta>
                <linktext>Oxygen XML Editor User Guide</linktext>
            </topicmeta>
        </keydef>

Kind regards,
