Hi,
I am working on Cognos 10.1 version. Hyperlink have been added in the Cognos Connection Page (Public Folders Page). When the hyperlink is clicked its taking to the concerned website but in the same window. Is there any possibility to get it opened in a new window.

Thanks in Advance

I just modified my data.drill through definition to launch it as a new window to work around the issue. 

There may still be a way to do it purely with the hyperlink, but as I found a solution that worked, I haven't yet pursued that option.

And after having said that, I found a solution.  If you use an html item instead, you can use the

<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Click Me" ONCLICK="window.open('http://www.xkc.com/');">

You put whatever value you want in the actual URL area and the text for your button in the Value. This will force a new window to open.
