For some reason it seems like meteor ignores links with target="_blank" and I can see no reason for that
<a target="_blank" href="/my1.pdf" >Manual (PDF)</a>
Result: Nothing
<a href="/my1.pdf" >Manual (PDF)</a>
Result: Open PDF as expected, but in my app window => Bad
So I have to do:
<a target="_blank" data-action="uglyWorkaround" href="/my1.pdf" >Manual (PDF)</a>
And a helper:
"click [data-action='uglyWorkaround']" : function(e, t){
window.open(event.target.href, "_blank");
}
Result: Opens PDF in a new tab as I want it to.
But why?
