TCPDF open links in new tab/window

Question

How to open links in new tab/window which is in pdf document. I tried target="_blank" but it did not work. I was found javascript solution on the internet. But how I can use javascript in tcpdf.

I tried the following:

$text = 'bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla<br>';
$url = "http://google.com";
$links = ' <a href="javascript:open_win('.$url.');">Click me</a> 
           <a href="'.$url.'" target="_blank">Click me</a> ';

$output = $text.$links; $pdf->writeHTML($output);

But it did not work.
