Opening all SharePoint 2013 Documents in a new window

We wanted an easy solution to open every document in a SharePoint from a document library in a new window. This way, the user stays on the page he is originally on and the document (PDF, Word doc, Excel files–whatever) will open in a blank window.

There are two types links on page. One is that links added in the content as html. The other type is that links in a document library and displayed on page via DVWP.

Here is how to open the first type of links in new window:

1. Attach a javascript file in the master page or just add the javacript in the header section

2. Here is the javascript:

//add an entry to the _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames array 
//so that our function will run on the pageLoad event 
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("rewriteLinksunction rewriteLinks() {  
//create an array to store all the anchor elements in the page   
var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName("a");   
//loop through the array   
for (var x=0; x<anchors.length; x++) {    
//set the target attribute to be blank to open in new window    
anchors[x].setAttribute('target', '_blank');   
} 
}

3. In IE, open Internet Options. General tab -> Tabs -> Settings ->When a pop-up is encountered -> Always open pop-ups in a new tab

Here is for the second type:

1. Attach a javascript file in the master page or just add the javacript in the header section

2. Here is the javascript:

$(document).ready(
  function ()
  {
    // has to be on an interval for grouped doc libraries
    // where the actual links are loaded only once a group
    // is expanded
    setInterval(
      function ()
      {
        $("a[onclick*='return DispEx'][target!='_blank']")
          .attr("target", "_blank")
          .removeAttr("onclick");

        // document type icons
        $("td.ms-vb-icon>img[onclick]:not([documentUrl])")
          .click(function (e)
          {
            window.open($(this).attr("documentUrl"), "_blank");
            e.stopPropagation();
            e.preventDefault();
            return false;
          })
          .each(function ()
          {
            $(this).attr(
            "documentUrl",
            $.trim(String($(this).attr("onclick"))
              .split("=")[1]
              .replace(/["'{}]/g, "")
              .split(";")[0])
            );
            this.onclick = null;
          });
      },
      500
    );
  }
);
