Description
Links that would open a new tab in other browsers do nothing in the ChimeraX HTML viewer. For example, try "help open" and then click the "Protein Data Bank" link in the table.
If you right-click the link in the ChimeraX viewer, there is a context menu with "open link" and "open link in new window" neither of which do anything either. The "copy link" item does work, however.
The "open" manpage can be viewed in other browsers at:

I used target to encode opening a separate tab:
<a href="http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/tutorials/framepdbintro.html" target="_blank">Protein Data Bank</a>
Obviously the ChimeraX viewer doesn't have tabs, but it should do something rather than nothing.
<a> tags with target="_blank" are now opened in an external web browser.
