Does anyone have a way to open a link in a new tab using this block?

In the mobile app, the link opens in the default web browser, so the app runs separately. In the web app, the link opens in the tab the app is running. Looking for a way to have the link open as a new tab in the web app.

Thank you in advance to anyone that might have a trick up their sleeve.

Just as an update, this feature is live! Web apps now open links in a new tab.
