What I want it to do when you click on it though is to open in safari instead of inside my app. I tried using target="_blank" like I would if I was building a website but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Is it possible for the link to open in safari? Thanks in advance! Title Comments Hi, On one of my html pages I have referenced my website with a <a href> link that works fine.
