Link targets

Accessibility guidelines advise that:

  • Opening new tabs/windows should be minimised, unless there is a good reason (such as needing to view instructions for a form separately, or to display terms and conditions relating to a form).

  • Vision impaired users and neuro-diverse users need to be warned that a link will open a new tab/window.

Our approach

...

For all links, ensure that it is possible for users to control when a link opens in new tab/window by making sure the browser’s native “Open in new tab” and “Open in new window” options are always available.

For links which open in an new window.

...

Append a standard icon to the end of the link

  • import OpenInNewIcon from '@mui/icons-material/OpenInNew';

  • Hide the icon from screen readers

    • aria-hidden="true"

Ensure the words “opens in a new window” are voiced by screen readers
