Whether to open a new window for an internal link

[Catherine_Selectaglaze]

I'm aware of the advice to add internal links between pages and so I always add links as and when appropriate. However, my website builder allows me the option to open the link in a new window or in the originator.  I invariably choose the former but don't know if this is best practice.

Could anyone advise?

Hi Catherine,

I think you should analyze the User experience. Sometimes is better to mantain the same window, sometimes it isnt.

I prefer always **not to open a new window. ** I do not know if there is a best practice. It will come down to user experience.

Best Luck.
