Description
Right now doing something like this:
import pytest
from pytest_html import extras
def test_ex(extra):
print ("hey")
extra.append(extras.text("Hello World!\n", "Hello Text"))
leads to something like this:

The problem is if you click the "Hello Text" link, chrome will close it immediately. This is a standard behavior as of recent chrome (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46818033/opening-datatext-plain-window-in-chrome-showing-up-blank).
Can we come up with a different way to make the text openable/viewable in self contained html?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the extras.text example in a recent Chrome version and inspect how the pytest-html report creates the “Hello Text” link. Done means the text is viewable from the generated self-contained HTML instead of closing immediately.
