# Store the ID of the original window
original_window = driver.current_window_handle
# Loop through until we find a new window handle
for window_handle in driver.window_handles:
if window_handle != original_window:
driver.switch_to.window(window_handle)
break
if the anchor link is like this <a href="https://example.com/">click me</a> then when clicked it will open in the current tab/window
but if its <a href="https://example.com/" target="_blank">click me</a> then when clicked it will open in a new tab
look at the target attribute
