The `tm-open-external-window` message opens an external link eg: "https://tiddlywiki.com" in a new //browser// window. If no parameters are specified, it opens the help tiddler. Any additional parameters passed via the <<.param "paramObject">> are being provided as variables to the new window.
|param |URL of the tiddler to be opened in a new browser window, defaults to the [[TiddlyWiki help|https://tiddlywiki.com/#WidgetMessage%3A%20tm-open-external-window if empty]] |
|windowName|If a parameter is provided it can be used to open different links in the same window eg: `_tiddlywiki`. Default is empty, so every link opens a new window.|The behaviour is influenced by user settings in the browser and the browsers default behavior! |
|windowFeatures|This parameter needs to be provided as a single string. eg: `"height=400, width=600"`. For detailed description about possible parameters see: [[Mozilla Help|https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open#Window_features]] ||
