  Hey @klbarron, are you talking about the titles on your navigation bar? If you don’t have a menu created, here are the steps to create them. If you already have one, you could go Appearance -> Menus and then select the menu you want and for each item, there will be a checkbox to open links in a new tab.

  If your theme supports, Full Site Editing (FSE) then you will want to check the navigation block. https://wordpress.com/support/full-site-editing/theme-blocks/navigation-block/

  I hope this helps. Please let me know how it goes.

  Thanks for the quick response. Actually, I’m a writer so I have some selected short works on my static homepage. Some are links to works published online, but some works aren’t, so I want to open a file in a new window, and I can’t figure out how to do that.

  Okay, I see. So, if you edit the page that is set as your homepage, you can choose the links to open in new tab.

  Please refer to this page, it contains a detailed guide on how to set up links https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/links/
