another way than "load url"?

Support Basics & Interface
1

is there some other way to open a webpage from inside blender than to use “load url”?
I want the webpage to open in a new window, not in the same window as the blender file?? please help me

2

I’m not sure if my copy of blender opens web pages, so
you’re one step ahead of me – could you please elaborate
a little more about your problem?

Regards,
Chris

I think he’s talking about a function in the web plugin…

Not much I can do there though.
