Better Primo VE Menu Link Options
Custom menu links in Primo open in a new tabbed window. This is bad behavior. If I go back to the original screen and press the button again, it opens up another window in another tab, and so on.
Desired Behavior:
Menu link goes to address -- does not open a new window or tab. At the very least, it should have be an option for developers. Currently it is hard-coded in the html and not changeable. Using it leads to cluttered browsers.

I'm surprised this still happens.
Nielsen/Norman identified this over 20 years ago as bad practice:

Could there at least be a checkbox in the administration section to turn this on/off on a per-link basis?

I completely agree.
