"the fact when there is a link [...] clicking on it has you leave the page you are on and replace that page with the referenced link"

Welcome to the World Wide Web!

What you describe is the standard way links have worked in pretty much every browser, on pretty much every website for over two decades. It is the behaviour most people expect when they click on a link.

If you would prefer for your browser to open links in a new window, it can probably be configured that way. Otherwise, you can probably add some Javascript to your Free Nodelet to rewrite all the links on the page to your liking.

package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name

  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
