Hi Friends,

I'm just trying to open a new web tab from nodered Dashboard. Not a static IP address but the Ip address is selected from the a table( msg.topic).  
I've tried this with the table, but when the links open its goes like [http://localhost:1880/ui/ipaddress](http://localhost:1880/ui/ipaddress).  
i want it to be [http://ipaddress](http://ipaddress) on a new tab.Is this possible?

Try setting the url to be the full [http://x.y.w.z](http://x.y.w.z). Otherwise I think we assume the link is relative not absolute.
