Why is Shopify not letting me link text to YouTube?

Hello,

My client wants to hyperlink specified text to lead to their YouTube channel from one of their blog post. There are other hyperlinks on the same blog post that work properly with one-click. However, the text that is linked to YouTube, only works when you right-click>open in new Tab. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

 

Thank you!

@Isabel2648 - will need to remove that functionality, or may need to take help from some very expert javascript developer who can open it in new tab,

Here is a link to the blog post.

Under step #3, first bullet point. The text reading “6 Steps to Healthy Hands” does not lead to the YouTube channel video unless you right-click.

 

Thank you so much,
