# Deprecation: #88433 - Deprecate top.openUrlInWindow

See [forge#88433](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/88433)

## Description

The global JavaScript function `top.openUrlInWindow()` has been marked as deprecated. This method was used to open
links in a full size popup.

## Impact

Calling this function will trigger a deprecation log entry in the browser's console.

## Affected Installations

All installations using third party extensions that use `top.openUrlInWindow()` are affected.

## Migration

Instead of using this method, consider using plain HTML and open the link in a new tab:
`<a href="/path/to/my/document", target="_blank">Linked content</a>`
