How to navigate link in new tab in flutter web without android

In Flutter web, you can navigate to a link in a new tab without relying on Android-specific code by using the url_launcher package. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Add the url_launcher package to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  url_launcher: ^6.0.9

Update your Dart code to use url_launcher:dart

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:url_launcher/url_launcher.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text('Open Link in New Tab Example'),
        ),
        body: Center(
          child: ElevatedButton(
            onPressed: _launchURL,
            child: Text('Open Flutter Website'),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }

  void _launchURL() async {
    const url = 'https://flutter.dev';
    if (await canLaunch(url)) {
      await launch(
        url,
        webOnlyWindowName: '_blank', // This will open the link in a new tab
      );
    } else {
      throw 'Could not launch $url';
    }
  }
}

1. Explanation:
   • The url_launcher package provides a method launch which can be used to open URLs.
   • The webOnlyWindowName: '_blank' parameter ensures that the link opens in a new tab when running in a web environment.
   • The canLaunch method checks if the URL can be launched.

By using the url_launcher package and specifying webOnlyWindowName: '_blank', you ensure that the URL opens in a new tab on Flutter web, providing a platform-independent solution.
