Thanks for the welcome and I appreciate your thoughtful response 🙏

Yes I am aware the issue here lies with the browser—indeed the web app treats all custom links the same, but when I use custom links in Chrome, there is no added about:blank page (or it appears and then is automatically deleted by Chrome within a millisecond). I tested this using multiple web apps on each browser and my findings were consistent.

Incidentally, my task manager of choice is ClickUp, and [your workaround for entering hook links into custom fields](https://discourse.hookproductivity.com/t/has-anyone-used-hook-successfully-with-clickup/2827/4) is brilliant 👏

Hook is proving to be such a task-management game-changer, I just wish I could get around these blank Firefox tabs!

Maybe I’ll just have to live with them ? (I’m not going back to Chrome…)
