Hello, I had the same issue but identified that if you right-click on the hyperlink, you can select to open in a new tab.

I added this wording (in header format) to the top of the form.

I hope this helps.

Hi all,

Hopping in here to let you know there's been an update to the way hyperlinks work in forms!

It won't happen automatically for your current links so you'll need to re-add the link for it to open in a new tab. Here's more information:

Hi Community!

We've recently updated Forms so that hyperlinks will always open in a new tab. In order for this update to take effect, you'll need to navigate to your sheet, go to 'manage forms', delete the hyperlink, and re-add the hyperlink. Then click save and you should be good to go!
