Hi,

Please find attached patch to fix RM#2679.

Issue:-
Getting started links does not open second time from "Dashboard" panel if User close runtime tab and open any URL again.

Analysis:-
As in runtime Qt application, when user defined "target=_new" then "createWindow" signal is called but when user close that new windows and again click on link then "createWindow" signal is not getting called so from user point view nothing will happen.

Solution:-
To make it work in both runtime and web application, changed "target" attribute to "_blank" so that "createWindow" signal will be called every time when user click on any link.

I think this is a partial workaround for the problem. We link to external sites such as postgresql.org - what happens if that tries to open something with target="_new"? It should be expected to work as well. I think we need to fix the underlying problem, not try to work around it. 

Yes. You are right. We can implement the actual underlying problem but curious to know the difference between "_blank" and "_new" target attribute.

I didn't find any reference document for target attribute value "_new". I searched below links.

Thoughts ?
