Django is server-side, opening in a new tab is client-side. So use an <A> with a target="_blank"

But of course spawning new windows/tabs is annoying for the user, so try not to do that after all.

It has to be done in the template that gets written out, in the HTML. – Adam Vandenberg Mar 24 '11 at 06:50

Not exactly: you could code a middleware that will change your html, search for A tags and add the target="_blank". – daigorocub Jun 03 '16 at 09:25
Thanks for making the server/client side distinction. It all makes sense now – Brendan Metcalfe Jan 08 '20 at 19:14

Also, don't forget to use `noopener` like this: ``, as it's a security vulnerability if you forget. – Flimm Jul 28 '20 at 12:27

Most the time, loading the page in a new tab can be a real pain in the ar** for the user. Nevertheless it can still be necessary sometimes. If you really need to render your POST results in a new tab, use the target="_blank" as an attribute of your <form>.

this was problem when i was passing the dynamic URL in DTL. i also solved by putting the target="_blank" after the href closed.

      <h3 class="card-title">
                        <i class="fas fa-bell fa-2x mr-1"></i>
                        <a href="{% url 'alerts' site=data.site.name  %}  " target ="_blank">Notifications </i></a>
                     </h3>

<a></a> with target="_blank" below can open url in a new tab:

<a href="https://www.google.com/" target="_blank">Google</a>

And, <a></a> without target="_blank" below can open url in the current tab:

<a href="https://www.google.com/">Google</a>
