On the same tab, you can open the issue view if you double click on the card itself. Here's how it looks: https://take.ms/I3eMM (screenshot). If you click on the issue link itself, it will always open in the new tab.
This is really annoying, you should never force a user to open a link in a predefined way. On a link without target attribute you have every option to open it in the same tab, a new tab, window or private window. The other way around does not work. You can not override a target="_blank". If you keep it this way, there should be at least an option for the user to deactivate it.
The agile board page has two options: open a card within the same tab in a modal window as I described above or hit the link itself to open in a new tab. Both provide access to all the card data, so you can use whichever you prefer.
@Christoph could you please tell in detail how to do that. Actually I fully agree, if something looks like a link it should behave like a link. And if I want to open a link in new tab - it should be my responsibility (I can use middle mouse button for example).
You can open the uBlock Origin settings and navigate to the tab “My filters”, there you can place a rule like “youtrack.example.com##a:remove-attr(target)” so all links on that domain will get their target attributes removed.
This is so annoying. In my case: I saved youtrack as a chrome app, and clicking an issue link on the dashboard opens a new window. I expect it to open in the same window.
I can see the pain point. We have two open feature requests aimed at this behavior:
JT-69547, "YouTrack Issues List" widget: open issues in current tab, covers the dashboard side.
JT-77499, Unification of card opening paradigm in Agile Boards, covers the board side.

Hi!

Yeah and do not want a modal and I do not want a new tab. Never mind, I fixed it using a uBlock Origin rule which strips out all target attributes.
Thanks for the update.
Glad to hear that you find the solution suitable for you.
