SharePoint 2010 - Open Quick Launch link in a new window
 
The need is to open a link from the Quick Launch in a new window.   When Publishing Features are not activated, we can only edit URL, name of the link and its position.       But, we can use the javascript functions! Then I tried this:        Saving and clicking on the new link, the URL opens successfully in a new window BUT current page becomes white with the word [Object] ...   So, I tried this trick .. and it works:       The URL will open in a new window and the current page is reloaded onto itself.
