 * Hi, I’m able to make link from thumbnail to an external page. But how can I set
   link target=”_blank” so that it opens a new tab for that page? I have tried couple
   of ways to add this target but no luck. Could somebody please help. Here’s the
   code as it is now:
 *     ```
       <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail">
                      <a  href="<?php echo nggcf_get_field($image->pid, 'Link'); ?>"
                      target="<?php echo nggcf_get_field($image->pid, 'Target'); ?>"
                      title="<?php echo esc_attr($image->description); ?>"
                      data-src="<?php echo esc_attr($storage->get_image_url($image)); ?>"
                      data-thumbnail="<?php echo esc_attr($storage->get_image_url($image, 'thumb')); ?>"
                      data-image-id="<?php echo esc_attr($image->{$image->id_field}); ?>"
                      data-title="<?php echo esc_attr($image->alttext); ?>"
                      data-description="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($image->description)); ?>"
                      <?php echo $effect_code ?>>
                       <img
                           title="<?php echo esc_attr($image->alttext)?>"
                           alt="<?php echo esc_attr($image->alttext)?>"
                           src="<?php echo esc_attr($storage->get_image_url($image, $thumbnail_size_name, TRUE))?>"
                           width="<?php echo esc_attr($thumb_size['width'])?>"
                           height="<?php echo esc_attr($thumb_size['height'])?>"
                           style="max-width:none;"
                       />
                   </a>
               </div>
       ```

 * If the value of your ‘Target’ custom field is “_blank”, that will work as expected.
   
   If you want all the thumbnails to open in a new window, just hard-code the `target
   ="_blank"`.
