When linking from a Pro Gallery to a Dynamic Item Page I need to open the Dynamic Item Page in a new Window vs in current window.
I have a Pro Gallery containing CMS feed pictures along with Dataset AND visitor filtering and sorting. I use a Pagination bar to page thru the results 12 at a time. Click on a picture and you go to a Dynamic Item Page showing an enlargement of the picture along with more description (eg. year, category, donator, etc). In the Dynamic Item Page you can also prev/next thru the same photos displayed on Gallery page.
All of this is working well.
The only way o get back from the Dynamic Item Page to the gallery page is to use the Browser’s goback key. This can take several clicks if you’ve been prev/next’ing (not ideal but acceptable). But when you finally get back to the Gallery page it is at the beginning - first picture and no user filtering defined.
==> If the link to the Dynamic Item Page were to a new window, I could simply close the Dynamic Item Page and return to the Gallery page - ready to continue where I left off.
Any suggestions or work arounds?

Alternatively - any solution to return from Dynamic Item Page to Gallery page keeping that page where you left it (ie without resetting Gallery page back to the beginning)???
I have exactly the same problem, did you find a way around it?
Hi Peter, I never did find a resolution and I had also asked WIX Support but was told there was no “new window” option with a link from Pro Gallery.
I have a workaround which I am going to try (when I get back to that part of my development). What I was wanting the new window page for was to provide additional details beyond what was displayed on the Gallery. So I am hoping to have the button connect to a Lightbox pop-up to show that data. This will overlay the gallery picture and then can be X’ed back where you started. I figure to actually pass all of the descriptive field info to the lightbox thru “Session Storage” to avoid having to actually “Get” the record in the Lightbox code. ( ie. does require a little bit of simple code . Hopefully you’re okay with that.)
Probably be a while before I get to that but it should work.
Let me know your thoughts or if you need more explaination.
