Emily Johnson 23 navigateToURL using window.open causes original page URL to change
I'm using e.force:navigateToURL for clickable links in my lightning component. I have tried several different ways of creating this url. I need it to open the links in a new tab so that the original window remains open.
When the links are clicked, it opens the URL in a new window (as expected), but it's also changing the original window's URL. How do I prevent this from happening?
Here is my function:
Lightning component with clickable link:
New tab that is opened:
Original tab (after clicking link):
When the links are clicked, it opens the URL in a new window (as expected), but it's also changing the original window's URL. How do I prevent this from happening?
Here is my function:
handleClick : function(component, event, helper) {
var baseURL = component.get("v.cbaseURL");
var viewRecordEvent = $A.get("e.force:navigateToURL");
viewRecordEvent.setParams({
"url": window.open(baseURL+'/'+ event.target.id,'_blank')
});
viewRecordEvent.fire();
}
Here are some screenshots showing the behavior.Lightning component with clickable link:

For this particular item, I ended up changing the click handler to this:
//open links in edit mode handleClick : function(component, event, helper) { var editRecordEvent = $A.get("e.force:editRecord"); editRecordEvent.setParams({ "recordId": event.target.id }); editRecordEvent.fire(); },Hope it helps.
