Setting link within sitemap

Question

I'm currently working on a project that uses a sitemap for a Telerik menu control. I'm trying to add a new button to the menu called Reports that will open a new page/tab for users to a Report Server link.

I am able to place the button onto the page, however, nothing happens when I click it currently. Here is the implementation of the sitemap (the node primarily, along with one that works currently).

Doesn't work at the moment

<siteMapNode title="Reports" nopResource="Admin.Reports" PermissionNames="ManageReports" ImageUrl="" URL="http://f7003214/Reports/SupplyCatalogTest">
      </siteMapNode>

Does work

<siteMapNode title="Dashboard" nopResource="Admin.Dashboard" controller="Home" action="Index" ImageUrl="~/Administration/Content/images/ico-dashboard.png" />

Also, I'm wanting my URL to open a new tab/window, not redirect the user. Is there a way to do that?

Answer 1

Never mind this question. I came up with another solution. I created a Controller and View to solve the issue. Within the Controller, I set the links in a Model, then within the View, I redirect the user directly to the Reporting Server via Javascript in a new tab/window.
