Can a Shopify menu item be configured to open in a new tab?

I would like to have a Menu Item open up in a new tab.  It will be the button that returns you to our actual website.  Can this be done?  I am able to link text to new tabs but can't seem to find the magic button that allows me to do so with a menu item.


Thanks!

Hello There,

I found this guide on how to have external links open in a new tab.

https://help.shopify.com/themes/customization/navigation/open-external-links-in-new-browser

also I found this snippet from Google interesting as well.

The short answer is: just add a target="_blank" attribute to your links (anchor tags). Now when your visitors click that link, it will open in a new window or tab (depending on which web browser they are using and how they configured that browser).

in the navigation code where the <a href is  right after the ending " of that, you add a space then add target="_blank"
