Instead of ctr+click ticket card new tab, by default the ticket should open in tab just for clicking. Therefore, we could save our time and effort and reply faster.

Hej, as already mentioned here:

If you use the mousewheel to click or use Ctrl + click or Cmd + click, any link can be opened in a new tab.

This is not just about Freshdesk: Before clicking a link on any website there’s no way of knowing if it will open in a new tab or not. So when I want a link to open in a new tab, I’ll just use Cmd + click either way. [...]

By default links open in the same tab - that’s the default behaviour that users can expect when clicking a link. And then there’s a native way and shortcut to open links in a new tab.

I don’t see why Freshdesk should change the default for clicking links in the ticket list view affecting their 60,000+ customers and hence even more agents, when only a few agents maybe not always but sometimes wanna have a link open in a new tab.

And when you add target="_blank" to a link [which you suggested] it will always open in a new tab and there’s no shortcut for opening links in the same tab.

What you can do:

  • Get used to using the Cmd + click shortcut
  • Search for a browser plugin that lets you open links in a new tab automatically, maybe even limited to certain pages [...]
