If you ve been using the OnDestry lifecycle hook  you might be interested in using something like this before calling window location href          this router ngOnDestroy        window location href    http   www cnn com      that will trigger the OnDestry callback in your component that you might like   Ohh  and also   import   Router   from   angular router     is where you find the router   ---EDIT--- Sadly  I might have been wrong in the example above  At least it s not working as exepected in my production code right now - so  until I have time to investigate further  I solve it like this  since my app really need the hook when possible   this router navigate        then result  gt  window location href    http   www cnn com         Basically routing to any  dummy  route to force the hook  and then navigate as requested

I think you need    target   blank   so then you can use window open    gotoGoogle     void        window open  https   www google com     blank

The solution  as Dennis Smolek said  is dead simple   Set window location href to the URL you want to switch to and it just works   For example  if you had this method in your component s class file  controller    goCNN         window location href  http   www cnn com        Then you could call it quite simply with the appropriate  click  call on a button  or whatever  in your template    lt button  click   goCNN    gt Go to CNN lt  button gt

An Angular approach to the methods previously described is to import DOCUMENT from  angular common  or  angular platform-browser in Angular    lt  4  and use   document location href    https   stackoverflow com     inside a function   some-page component ts  import   DOCUMENT   from   angular common       constructor  Inject DOCUMENT  private document  Document       goToUrl    void       this document location href    https   stackoverflow com       some-page component html   lt button type  button   click   goToUrl    gt Click me  lt  button gt    Check out the plateformBrowser repo for more info
