Different right-click options on Navigator Menu - IFS Cloud

Possible Reasons:

1. Anchor (<a>) vs. JavaScript Navigation

   • The right image (which allows opening in a new tab) likely has a standard anchor (<a href="...">) tag linking to another page.
   • The left image (which does not allow opening in a new tab) might be using JavaScript-based navigation (onclick events) instead of a direct <a> link.

2. Form vs. Page Navigation

   • If the "Part Cost" link on the left is part of a form submission rather than a standard link, browsers prevent it from opening in a new tab because form submissions typically send data to the server rather than just navigating.

3. Single Page Application (SPA) Behavior

   • If IFS Cloud is using an SPA framework, some navigation might be handled internally via JavaScript (window.location.replace() or history.pushState()), which doesn’t allow opening in a new tab.

4. Security & Restrictions

   • Some applications override default browser behavior to prevent certain links from opening externally (e.g., for security or workflow reasons).

It seems to be related to the type of page, or the Entry Type (under Navigator Designer). Links are not available in IFS Cloud when the Entry Type is set to TREE.

I did verify this with other pagers, for example Part Cost History (Entry Type is PAGE, link works), Part Cost History Detail (Entry Type is TREE, link does not work).

Unsure if this behavior is what we should expect moving forward or IFS should apply a workaround/fix.

sometimes just because you click the RMB in different phase, maybe you can double click the progress of the window.
