I have a Component in Blazor that has an anchor tag which opens a new tab as below:

<a href="@($"api URL in here" class="btn btn-primary @(isLoading ? " disabled" : "" )" id="btnDownload" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-download"></i></a>

The issue I face is as I am already logged in to the application but on the new tab it authenticates me again and download the file correctly but then does not close the tab on completion of the dialog.
