 * Hi, is it possible to add an option (checkbox) to open external link in a new
   window?

 * Would really appreciate this feature in a new version of your plugin.

 * Sorry that is not a feature I plan to add. I like simple plugins that scratch
   a simple itch
 * There are plugins that you might be mix and match to achieve what you are after
   though, eg:

 * [@shawfactor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shawfactor/) thanks for your
   answer!
 * I don’t think that it will make this plugin too complex…
 * Its a standard behavior that all external site need to open in a new window and
   good to have this option.
 * I tried a different plugins with ability to open external links in a new window,
   but it doesn’t not work with your plugin, for some reason, mb because it work
   as a redirect, but now as normal link in the post (for example).
 * I saw this solution in the plugin Page Links to: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-links-to/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-links-to/)
 * But unforchanotly, this plugin doesn’t work with my site configuration, I’m using
   elementor and URL isn’t saved.
 * Only your plugin is works for me, so I’m looking for some help and solution.
   
   Anyway, thanks!

 * Howdy,
 * Sorry the others did not work. By way of explanation all my plugins scratch an
   itch that I need for my own projects and I open source the code as a way of helping
   the community.
 * But if you need it I could code it up as a freelance paid project, it would take
   me 1-2 hours depending on your exact need, but we’d need to move forward over
   my email: shawfactor at gmail dot com
 * as this forum is purely for support.
