UIv4 Issue: Alert links no longer open new tab
I noticed that in UIv4, several types of alert links no longer open a new tab when you click on them. Instead they open the link in the current tab. This makes it frustrating to drill down into alerts when looking at a dashboard or list of alerts on the Resources tab.
The below types of alert links no longer open a new tab, where they always have prior to UIv4. This negatively affects our NOC's workflow of troubleshooting alerts during an outage.
- Alerts tab on the resource tree when clicking the Resource or Instance links of an individual alert
- Alerts widget on dashboards when clicking the Resource link of an alert
- this used to go to the alerting instance
- Resource or Group link on log entry in LM Logs page
If I am looking at a list of filtered alerts on a folder of the resources page and then click one of the alerts, I then would have to hit the Back button on the browser to go back to the folder and would lose filters. Same if I was looking at dashboard alerts, if I drill down into one I then have to press Back to return to the dashboard unless I do right-click and "Open New Tab".
