what is the command to set a link to open in a new window without having to make it a button?

for example I have a paragraph of text If i want email i put mailto:x [xxx@zzzz.com](mailto:xxx@zzzz.com)

I can currently only get it to open in the same window, is there a way to do this without making every link a button?

yes,

in your text properties you can set a link and even place javascript in there.

text properties? Sorry I’m a little confused. What would the code look like that I enter in then? I want the link to open a new window not the parent window.
