Weblinks not working

I just bit the bullet and ran the Lovelace conversion routine. Everything seemed to convert just fine except: all of my weblinks are no longer linking and just showing a display of the link that isn’t working.
Here’s a snippet of my new lovelace.yaml:

  - title: Devices
    cards:
      - type: entities
        title: Device Status
        show_header_toggle: true
        entities:

        ....

      - type: entities
        title: Server Access
        show_header_toggle: true
        entities:
          - weblink.att480
          - weblink.sandynet
          - weblink.sandyside
          - weblink.sandyweb

…

Okay, figured it out… the autoconversion missed a bit. I guess the autoconversion missed that I had a “weblink: !include weblinks.yaml” I had to do the following manual adjustments:

  - type: entities
    title: Server Access
    show_header_toggle: true
    entities:
      - type: weblink
        name: AT&T Wifi
        url: http://192.168.1.254
        icon: mdi:router-wireless
      - type: weblink
        name: SandyNet
        url: http://192.168.100.1
        icon: mdi:router-wireless
      - type: weblink
        name: SandySide
        url: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080
        icon: mdi:router-wireless
      - type: weblink
        name: Sandy Website
        url: http://pi1
        icon: mdi:web

An observation. I had a fat finger in my initial edits. Configuration check didn’t catch it. HA wouldn’t reload until I could search-and-destroy fat fingering manually.

Now that the above is taken care of, I’ve noticed that when you click on a weblink, in the past (pre-lovelace) a new tab would be opened for the event. Now the event is inside the HA display making you have to back out of your event rather than just terminate it. Am I missing a toggle to open a new tab or something?
