pandoc: Open link in new tab

Question

According to this answer, it should be possible to use the following syntax

[link](url){:target="_blank"}

to have links opening in a new tab when using pandoc.

However, it seems this option is not supported as the option is not recognized when converting to html.

I am using rmarkdown which relies on pandoc in the background.

Is it possible to do so using pandoc and if yes, how?

This is the table describing what is available in various pandoc target outputs : github.com/jgm/pandoc/wiki/… ; you likely need to build a new doc type to handle what you need or just craft anchors the old-fashioned way. – Clarino

If you need to do this globally for HTML output, have a look at my answer here: https://mcmap.net/q/53877/-can-i-create-links-with-39-target-quot-_blank-quot-39-in-markdown – Irrespective
