how to open the links of Linkedin, Twitter and Instagram in a new tab?

Thx!
Topic summary
A user asks how to make social media links (LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram) in the Dawn theme footer open in new tabs.
Proposed Solution:
- Navigate to Online Store → Theme → Edit code
- Open Sections/footer.liquid file
- Search for ‘list-menu__item–link’
- Replace line 69 with code that adds
target="_blank"attribute to links
Refinement Suggested:
A follow-up comment recommends adding an IF conditional check to specifically target only social media menu items, preventing the modification from affecting all footer links. This approach uses {% if block.settings.menu == 'social' %} to isolate the social links.
The discussion provides a working code solution but remains technical, requiring manual theme file editing. No indication whether the original poster implemented or tested the suggestions.

I’d take that a step further and add in a “IF” check as you might have more than one list-menu__item–link menu in the footer. For me I was just targeting the social items from a menu. Hence the {% if block.settings.menu == ‘social’ %}
{%- for link in block.settings.menu.links -%}
- {{ link.title }}
{%- endfor -%}
