WHY do Captivate 2019 links default to “current”?

When I create a button to link to a URL site in Captivate 2019, the action defaults to “Current”.  This is a big problem!  By having it set to current the link takes the user completely out of the course and they have to navigate back to the course to relaunch it.  BAD BAD BAD default action.  The best default action would inherently be “New”.  Clicking on a URL link should open the link in a new window so the course itself is unaffected.

People shouldn’t have to click on a drop down to find the “new” action every time they create a URL link.

“New” is the best? Debatable.

That is what I tried to explain as well because that command is used both for File and URL. You have full control over the way it will open, which is IMO the best solution for every developer.

Why not log a feature request? I am used to open the dropdown list and change how to open another file (because it can be used for a file as well) or URL. To me that is not a problem, but since you have issues, please log a feature request.
