Title: (GWTP) Can "placeManager.revealPlace(request)" open a URL in a new Tab?
Tags: gwt;gwtp
Question: In GWTP, to open a URL in a new tab, we can use this:

```PlaceRequest request =new PlaceRequest(NameTokens.getorder).with("myID", myID);
String url =
Window.Location.createUrlBuilder().setHash(placeManager.buildHistoryToken(request)).buildString();
Window.open(url, "_blank", null);
```

Can we not to use ```Window.open``` &amp; just use ```placeManager``` to achive the same thing (ie open a URL in a new Tab).

```PlaceRequest request =new PlaceRequest(NameTokens.getorder).with("myID", myID);
placeManager.revealPlace(request);
// this code will open the url (ex: mydomain.com#getorder;myID=15 ) in the current browser.
```

The problem of ```Window.open(url, "_blank", null);``` is that sometime it opens to new tab &amp; sometime it opens to a new Window which is inconsistent.


Here is the accepted answer: Try this one

```Window.open(url, "", "");
```

or 

```Window.open(url, "", null);
```
