To solve this issue more globally  here is another way using a directive   import   Directive  HostListener  ElementRef   from   angular core     Directive     selector    hrefExternalUrl      export class HrefExternalUrlDirective     constructor elementRef  ElementRef         HostListener  click      event      onClick event  MouseEvent        event preventDefault         let url  string     lt any gt event currentTarget  getAttribute  href         if  url  amp  amp  url indexOf  http       -1          url        url               window open url    blank            then it s as simple as using it like this    lt a  href   url  hrefExternalUrl gt  Link  lt  a gt    and don t forget to declare the directive in your module

One caveat on using window open   is that if the url that you pass to it doesn t have http    or https    in front of it  angular treats it as a route   To get around this  test if the url starts with http    or https    and append it if it doesn t   let url  string       if     http s         test this urlToOpen         url     http         url    this urlToOpen  window open url    blank

you can do like this in your typescript code  onNavigate    var location  https   google com       In your html code add an anchor tag and pass that variable location    lt a href    location    target   blank  gt Redirect Location lt  a gt    Suppose you have url like this www google com without http and you are not getting redirected to the given url then add http    to the location like this  var location    http      www google com
