Using the New Form Builder, inside a rich text box, using the insert link function, how do i get the link to open in a new tab

i have tried the ?&target_blank

and 

<a href="https://" & " target=_blank" & ">File Upload</a>" 

but it just has the text, not a link

Your syntax doesn't look quite right. Are you using just a plain rich-text element on the form or a formula-rich text? 

If it's just an element on the form - the syntax should look like: 

<a href="https://"  target="_blank">File Upload</a>"

The difference is that since it's a rich text element you don't need the & and the url and _blank need to be in ""

If you're using a formula, it would need to be like: 

"<a href='https://' target='_blank'>File Upload</a>"

In this one - since it's a formula string, you need to close the entire element in "" and then the URL and _blank need to be enclosed in single quotes
