title: xpages link in new tab ignoring validations
body: <p>I have the following link on my footer layout:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;xp:link escape="true" id="link1" text="Click me" target="_blank"&gt;
                      &lt;xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true"
                          refreshMode="complete"&gt;
                          &lt;xp:this.action&gt;&lt;![CDATA[#{javascript:facesContext.getExternalContext().redirect("http://www.example.com")}]]&gt;&lt;/xp:this.action&gt;
                      &lt;/xp:eventHandler&gt;
  &lt;/xp:link&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The main layout contains some required fields. If I click the link I will get the message: "That field is required!" and so on. But, if I click the link in my main page ( which is something like a home page ) , the URL redirects me to the respective site, but on the same tab. Is <code>target="_blank"</code> ignored?</p>
  
  <p>How can I achieve this considering I want when clicking on link the validations to be ignored and the url to be opened on new tab? </p>
