When I create a web link in a note, the web page replaces the backpack page when I click on it. it would be much better if the new page (external link that i typed in a note—not a backpack page) opened in a new window so i could keep using backpack without hitting my BACK button. thanks

Do you have a mouse with a middle button? You can middle-click to open in a new tab. If not, you can hold down Control or Command while clicking.
