Custom Button onclick javascript to open link in new browser tab

Thought this should be relative straight forward, but standard functionality does not provide this.

So I thought to execute onclick Javascript instead.

window.open("https://www.google.com/");

Something like this. Any adjustments to get this working?

Thanks in advance.

This looks correct. Isn't it working?

Ah yeah it works now. Whitelisting the URL helps!

Many thanks for this.
I'd been using
window.location.href = "https://www.google.com/"
which showed the page in the currect tab rather than a new tab.
