View visitor profile in new tab

[marto55555]

Summary

In the Visits Log and Segmented Visits Log, the "View visitor profile" link can't be opened in a new tab/window, because the a element is missing href attribute.

My suggestion

Set the href attribute to the same Widgetized link as in the Visitor Profile ID link.

Because the "View visitor profile" link's event handler already has preventDefault(), this addition won't impact the current behavior when clicking, but only allow for opening in new tab the widgetized link.

Why is this useful

I often need to open multiple visitor profiles, e.g. from the Events page: "Open the segmented visits log" which opens in a popup/dialog > "View visitor profile" which replaces the dialog with a new one. When I click the browser back button to go to a different profile, the scroll position is reset and the segmented visits may be different.

By being able to Open in new tab, I won't have these problems.
