add an option for url types so that it can be opened in current tab

Fix #12668

Can one of the admins verify this patch?

@fbaligand Can you open this against master? We'll then handle backporting it to the relevant versions.

Also, we've passed feature freeze for 5.x and 6.0, so the soonest this would be able to go out is 6.1

@epixa
Waou, I'm very surprised that 5.x and 6.0 branches are already freezed...
I'm a little bit sad about it :(

Anyway, I created a new PR based on kibana master : #13209

And like hope is still allowed 😃, I created also a PR for 5.6 and 6.0 branches :

• 5.6 : add an option for url types so that it can be opened in current tab (5.6 branch) #13210
• 6.0 : add an option for url types so that it can be opened in current tab (6.0 branch) #13211

If you wish a PR for 6.x branch, tell me.

@fbaligand Thanks for opening up the PR against master. We'll get a review on that asap.

Unfortunately for this case, it is too late to get new features into 5.6 and 6.0. We're working on shoring up and QAing both of those releases so everyone can be confident that they're stable, and even seemingly small features interrupt that process.

Closing this in favor of #13209
