By default, the value for the “Target” field is "_blank“, which implies opening the link page (or target) in another tab. Another value ”_self“ can also be used to open the target in the current tab. Lastly, the target can also be named directly. For example, a IFrame view is created and named ”demo“. In the ”Target“ field, key in ”demo". Click on any of the three buttons and the respective page will be displayed in the IFrame view.
