I am trying to open some links in a new tab, however I'd like to be able to open the same link in the same tab, should it be clicked again.

For example:

<a href="foo/0001" target="foo">foo</a>

would open in a new tab and

<a href="bar/0001" target="bar">bar</a>

would open in another new tab however should I then click

  <a href="foo/0002" target="foo">foo</a>

I would want to open this in the tab I previously opened with the target of foo.

I would rather not use jQuery, is this not possible with html alone? – Harry Blue Dec 06 '17 at 11:03

@pgGriff I don't understand the question. The behaviour you say you desire is the behaviour the code you wrote in your question gives. – Quentin Dec 06 '17 at 11:19
omg it actually is. Wow, ok, I'll carry on as normal then. – Harry Blue Dec 06 '17 at 11:23
