Perspective - Webpage URL inside Workstation

Ignition

Is there a way in Workstation to open an external URL and it open in Firefox instead of inside workstation?

system.perspective.navigate(url = 'http://docs.inductiveautomation.com')

Tab/Window Links needs to be in “System Browser” mode.

Yeah I thought that was it - but doesn't seem to work for me. It still opens inside Workstation with no way back to the application. I am using 8.1.9

I think the link settings only work for true links (Link component), and do not get applied to system navigation calls. I would recommend setting up the navigation call as a link instead to make use of these settings.

That will work. Just need target set to ‘TAB’ and it opens in firefox.

Thanks guys.
