Angular Catalog: Record summary links open in the same tab

[Anna Goben]

All of the links currently active in the Angular record summary open in the same tab rather than in a new tab.

Any external links (e.g. Related Resource, Version of Resource) should open in a new tab rather than loading in the active catalog page tab.

I also think the user links (Created By, Edited By) should open the user in a new tab rather than loading over the current catalog page.

Version: EG 3.8.0

[Terran McCanna (tmccanna)]

We've had requests from our libraries that links open in new tabs in most situations.

[Michele Morgan (mmorgan)]

The following patch changes the link behavior in the Record Summary to open in new tabs. The following links will open in new tabs:

Title
Created By
Last Edited By
Jacket image
Course

Here's my working branch:

When I installed this for Feedback Fest, I got a JIT compilation error. Looks like it's just missing a closing tag after "title" on line 55. I went ahead and made the change on my server so it could be tested otherwise, but the branch itself will just need the update.

Testing this out for FF 9/22.

How does the course link come up? Do you need to associate an item or the brief record to the course for it to show?

[Terran McCanna (tmccanna)]

I created a course and associated an item with it and it worked perfectly. All other links did, too!

Thanks, Michele and Terran! Merged for inclusion in 3.10, along with a one-character follow-up commit (missing closing pointy bracket).
