Describe the issue:

Created a simple html file:

<a href="http://www.google.com">http://www.google.com</a>

Right clicked the filename to open in viewer. The first time I use "open in viewer", clicking the link opens a tab in Chrome. The second time I right click to open in viewer, the viewer goes blank and no tab opens

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Create test.html with http://www.google.com as contents
2. Right click to open in viewer
3. click link
4. browser tab opens
5. right click a second time to re-open in viewer
6. click link
7. viewer goes blank and no tab opens

Expected or desired behavior:

Each time file is opened in viewer, it works the same way

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

Refused to display 'https://www.google.com/' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin'.

Reproduce the issue with test.html containing the linked Google URL, opening it in the viewer twice and clicking the link each time. Start by tracing the viewer's handling of external links and the reported X-Frame-Options failure. Done means repeated opens behave identically and the link opens an external browser tab each time.
