Friends, I have a similar situation on Clarity 13.3.
We have object portlet and has two hyperlinks -
1. From an attribute to open the object property page(default)
2. From a virtual attribute to open a link which is created using a html porlet.
We checked "open as popup" for both the options, but when I click on the second attribute it is opening in a new tab. Since the first link works fine, it is not an issue with browser setting.
Can anyone help me to sort this out.
