# SalesforceResultLink component
When viewing Salesforce items from the search results inside the Salesforce Classic console, it's ideal for them to open in [Salesforce console tabs](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=console2_tabs_primary_subtab.htm&type=5), or in a Lightning community for them to open directly in the community.
To achieve the desired behavior, this component inherits directly from the [ResultLink component](https://coveo.github.io/search-ui/components/resultlink.html) with a couple of extra options and default settings.

> **Notes**
>
> * When using the ResultLink component, Salesforce items might open in a new browser tab instead of in the console.
> They might also try to open through the internal console link, instead of the customer-facing community link, while in a Salesforce Community.
> * For a Lightning console version, see [ConsoleResultLink component](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2983/).

## Options

### `openInPrimaryTab`

Specifies that the result link should try to open as a primary console tab.
If it fails, it opens in a new browser tab instead.

The default value is `true`.

> **Note**
>
> Most of the time, a result link fails to open if the URL isn't allowlisted for your console app.
> You can see an explicit message in the browser console that tells you that the URL was denied (see [Whitelist Domains for a Salesforce Console](https://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=console2_whitelist_domains.htm&language=en_US)).

```xml
<a class='CoveoSalesforceResultLink' data-open-in-primary-tab='true'/>
```

### `openInSubTab`

Specifies that the result link should try to open as a secondary console tab.
If it fails, it opens in a new browser tab instead.

The default value is `false`.

> **Note**
>
> Most of the time, a result link fails to open if the URL isn't allowlisted for your console app.
> You can see an explicit message in the browser console that tells you that the URL was denied (see [Whitelist Domains for a Salesforce Console](https://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=console2_whitelist_domains.htm&language=en_US)).

```xml
<a class='CoveoSalesforceResultLink' data-open-in-sub-tab='false'/>
```

## Methods

This component doesn't provide any methods.

## Usage

This component is meant to be used in result templates.

```xml
<a class='CoveoSalesforceResultLink'></a>
```

### Force all items to open in a new browser tab

To force all items to open in a new browser tab outside of the Salesforce console, set the options `openInPrimaryTab` and `openInSubTab` to `false`.
You can then use the standard [ResultLink component](https://coveo.github.io/search-ui/components/resultlink.html) options.
