Answers.Text: Thank you for your reply.   I have tried this but as the section I need to edit is a button link it doesn't accept HTML and the CMS doesn't allow me to see the HTML editor in that section of entries.  We only access the CMS to make small amendments and the developer didn't help us much.

Answers.Text: Even if this the solution to your question (which is indeed off-topic) the devs maybe have their reasons to not open the link in a new tab/window. However, if the user wants to open the link in a new tab he is probably smart enough to use `Ctrl+Click` or sth.

  Add `target="_blank"` to the link.
  
  Like so: `<a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">Opens in new window</a>`
