Unable to open multiple <a target="_blank"> links in separate tabs

[siluantahir]

What did you expect? 🧐

Each click on an link should open in its own new tab, preserving previously opened tabs.

What actually happened? 😵‍💫

Swup’s click handler calls window.open(url, name) with a fixed or derived window name, causing the browser to reuse the same tab name for all target="_blank" links.

@siluantahir The correct target should be _blank. On the site you've linked, it's blank without a leading underscore, in which case it behaves like browsers normally would by re-using the tab name for every link.

thank you so much for catching that typo.
I really appreciate your sharp eye and quick help in tracking down the issue! It was like searching for my glasses when they were sitting right on my nose. 😊

@siluantahir No worries. I ran into the same issue a while ago :)
