Pro 6.0 Beta - Component Parameter question

How is it possible to set a parameter for a URL to open as new tab or not please?

@scotbaston, there is some nuance here, but at the moment anything that is typed as a boolean (strict true / false values in terms of data) is unable to receive a Parameter update.

Let’s say you needed this mechanic for your buttons used throughout your site, one particular workaround you could us is to make two versions of your button, one standard and then another variant that is styled exactly the same, but with that option selected and perhaps suffixed with “(New Window)” or something when you name it and export it.

As another aside here to make wiring up Parameters easier. Most (but not all) controls have a “breakout” mode wired up now. I have the following keyboard shortcut mapped in my preferences:

"inspector-breakout-mode" : "mod+b"

That allows me to do CMD + b on my Mac and toggle between the standard controls you always see or a plain text input. This makes it much quicker as you don’t have to open up the Dev Toolkit to get to the core value and update it. Keep in mind, just as when working with the Dev Toolkit that you risk breaking certain things since you’re updating them directly, but this obviously allows you to break out of some of the guardrails put up to keep things predictable for users just getting used to things.

Thanks!
