Yes, you can control this behavior for example in HTML, nevertheless at the end it is the browser, which interacts with your HTML code. I can give you example here:
I have just changed settings of my Firefox, that my external links would open in the sabe tab and I achieved exactly the result you wanted. When I click on the button, the link opens in the same tab, where the report was.
If I open the same report in different browser (Chrome in my case), the link will open in a new tab.
Look, thank you very much for you effort, but I think my question is quite clear : I want to control the behaviour of links from the report, not from the browser.
If I do it on the browser settings it will affect everything that's opened with the browser and that is not a viable option.
