Thanks, the problem is that it opens the link in the same tab.

What I seek is a link that will open in a different tab.

You can write a Javascript function on the Browser to open a url in a separate window. You can use Application.ExternalCall to call that function from Unity3d. Hope that helps. http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Application.ExternalCall.html

the link above to Application.ExternalCall is a good solution. For example, in your OnMouseDown function call

Application.ExternalCall ("openNewURL");

Then in the HTML call the JS function as:

<script type="text/javascript">
function openNewURL()
{
window.open('http://someURL.com', 'open_window')
}
</script>

That should do the trick. I was looking for the exact same solution to use the browser to download a .pdf from a GUIButton.

Thanks diabloroxx,

But I want a link _blank "(open in the next tab on the browser)

I have this:

Start function () { / / Start a download of The Given URL var www: WWW = new WWW (url);

/ / Wait for download to complete www yield;

/ / Assign texture renderer.material.mainTexture = www.texture;

}

OnMouseDown function () { Application.OpenURL (http://unity3d.com/ "); }

but it opens in the same game window.
