Hi, I'm Japanese and my English is bad. Sorry about that.

Then... I want to know the way to make the link-button which is on SharePoint's leftside-menu open in a separate tab with SharePoint 2016 settings or something.

I know that'll be available from September 2022. But, SharePoint that we use is 2016 version, and I don't want to update it.

So, Does anyone knows that Exsistance of Patch that will solve this issue??

Please...
