      Currently in chat, an URL can be shared within a conversation. But when we click it, it opens in the same ongoing chat window. It should open in a pop-up window or in a new tab instead.

      To reproduce this behavior:
      1. Create a chat activity
      2. Share a link
      3. Click on link

      Result: the link opens up in the same windows. While you do not lose the conversation history, it could be nervebreaking for some...

      Is there any way to activate pop-up windows for the chat module ?
