Hello @Ayushi Kumari 

On the Button properties, under Attributes, add a new attribute with: 

  • Name: target 
  • Value: "_blank"

This will cause the link to open in a new tab and should resolve the issue.

Hi @Ayushi Kumari 

You can have a look on the below approach that was provided by our MVPs.
Open document in new tab instead of downloading | OutSystems


If you need sample OML then let me know.

Thanks,
