History.push a link to a new tab with react router

React-router’s history is meant to be used just for the navigation of your application and some persistance. I can’t see why you need to use it to open a new tab. I think you should use the window object for this.

const handleSubmit = () => {
  console.log("doing something");
  const win = window.open("/some-link", "_blank");
  win.focus();
}

UPDATE: Due to some comments that confirm that it is not neccesary to focus the new window we can make this solution even shorter, like:

const handleSubmit = () => {
  console.log("doing something");
  window.open("/some-link", "_blank");
}
