i have used react router doms' Link:
<Link target="_blank" to={"www.mylink.com"} >mylink </Link>
but this would open new tab to http://localhost:3000/www.mylink.com also, using a href:
<a href={'www.mylink.com'} target="_blank" > mylink </a>
does the same. opens new tab to http://localhost:3000/www.mylink.com how do i open in new tab only the link?
try this
<Link target="_blank" to={"//www.mylink.com"} >mylink </Link>
or this
<a href={'//www.mylink.com'} target="_blank" > mylink </a>
for more reference:
Absolute vs relative URLs

I tried to use Link but I had the same problem. Now I'm using this
onClick={() => { window.open('LINK','_blank')}}
When I used Link like
<Link to={`//${isHrefVlaue}`}></Link>
this was opening without localhost, but it was missing the colon in https and not working as expected.
But then it worked after I replaced Link with an anchor like
<a href={isHrefVlaue}></a>
