Open a new browser window from Grid?

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8

Is there any workaround available if a new browser window should be opened by clicking a Grid cell content rendered with a ClickableRenderer (since we can’t add a Link into a Grid cell)? BrowserWindowOpener cannot be extended with a Renderer instance either. The opened link should contain value from the selected row.

Apparently you can make your own Renderer with Link inside. :slight_smile:
But if you do not want to write a renderer for that, you can install a Converter, which converts your cell data into html like

<a href="somelink" target="windowname">SomeText</a> Then use HtmlRenderer to put the text into cells.

That seems to do the trick, thanks!
