Instead of returning to the office to redraw rough field sketches, measurements are captured digitally and converted into production-ready...

URGENT: How Do I Make a Mattertag Link Open in a New Browser Tab?

Chemistrydoc

12 daysTomSparks (1678): Hey Keith, Try this, it's the fastest fix and requires zero code. The trap: The dedicated link field on a Mattertag is what's forcing same-window behavior. Matterport sanitizes that field and ignores target="_blank". The fix: Skip the link field entirely. Put the URL in the description as a markdown link instead. Markdown links in Mattertag descriptions do honor new-tab behavior. How to do it: 1. Open your main...
