      Which version of MODx?

      In any case, if you’re using Wayfinder you’ll probably need to use a custom rowTpl chunk with [+wf.attributes+] in the a tags.

          Hi Ive sorted it now. The info was in the forum but wasnt making to much sense yesterday, have now figured it out, in case anyone else is reading this and struggling this is what I had to do.
          Go to chunks in your manager, look for mh.RowTpl

          insert [+wf.attributes] in the mh.RowTpl chunk see below
          <li[+wf.id+][+wf.classes+]><a href="[+wf.link+]" title="[+wf.title+]" [+wf.attributes+]>[+wf.linktext+]</a>[+wf.wrapper+]</li>

          save and set yor weblink for the resource to target="_blank"

          all works fine now.

          thanks for replying
