New invoicing - Don't open new tab when clicking the contact
Dont automatically open a new tab when clicking the contact link in the new invoice or give option to turn this off.
There is Alt+click shortcut on all browsers to do this already.
Making this auto open as default leads to too many unnecessary tabs and attributing to a more messy workflow

Thanks for your detailed feedback, everyone. We do find that customers have differing expectations of how clicking a link should behave.
With the current behaviour, opening the contact in a separate tab means that users don't lose any information they may have entered in the invoice.
We don't have any plans for changing this in the near term but it'll be good for us to continue to get a sense of the interest around this from our community here. If there are any changes that may impact this we'll share an update with you all here.

We have the same issue. Please keep it on the same tab/page

Open the link on the same page.
When I want to open a link on a new page, I can use the standard internet browser option of clicking my mouse's scroll wheel. Or right click and select open in new tab or new window. I expect the standard of left click = open in same tab to be consistent within Xero as it is within the rest of my computer use.

When clicking on a customers name within an invoice it now forces a new tab to open to view the customers file. This means you now have multiple tabs being continually opened and forces you to keep closing tabs which is just another useless step added to our workflow
