External Links for Block-Images

When using images in layouts, there is no possebility to mark an image link to open in a new Tab / WIndow (_blank). Is there an easy workarround ???

I just came up against this same issue. The easiest workaround I found was to use a markdown block in the layout, and insert Kirbytext to display the image with attributes for image, link, and target:

(image: map.png link: https://goo.gl/maps/blahblahblah target: _blank)

Kirbytext image tag reference:
(image: …) | Kirby CMS (getkirby.com)

Well, the image and gallery block types can be extended with additional fields, e.g a target field and the corresponding block snippet adapted accordingly, so no need to use a Markdown block.

But target=blank should be used with caution in general. It’s much better accessibility wise to leave it to the user to open a link in a new tab/window.
