How can I make a Strip open an external url in a new tab when clicked

I have searched and tried a bunch of different things and still haven’t been able to figure this out. Maybe someone can help.

import wixLocation from “wix-location”;
export function columnStrip5_click(event, $w) {wixLocation.to(“Google Maps”,)}

This is the code that I’m using and it opens the link in the existing tab. I am wondering what I need to do to make it open in a new tab.

Thank you so much in advance!

You can try looking at setting the link and target.

I am new to HTML stuff and coding. Do I leave the code as is and just add the link function as well?
Thanks for any help!
