Thanks Justin, that is kind of what I figured. Do you happen to know what that Java script might looking like to make this work? I have not yet learned that craft.​

Quick GoogleFoo here... if you add features/parameters to a window.open() JavaScript call, it forces it to open as a new window:

var strWindowFeatures = "height=0,width=0,scrollbars=yes,status=yes";
var URL = "https://www.google.com";
var win = window.open(URL, "_blank", strWindowFeatures);

You can find more information regarding WindowFeatures here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open#Window_features

      Where are you trying to inject the javascript itself? a formula field or a code page?

        ​A formula field, which now I am guessing is wrong.
