You can ust use the following code,

window.open(
  url,
  '_blank',
);

This will open the URL in a new tab, or you can use respective widgets like assets_audio_player: ^3.0.4+3 for audio and etc,.

The OP did not specify whether this is a web application. It might as well be a phone application or a desktop application. How is this going to help? – nvoigt May 30 '22 at 09:29
