Best Practices

Use HTTPS: Always prefer secure URLs (https://) for customer safety and trust.
Keep users in-app: Use the default (in-app) setting for most pages to maintain session continuity.
Track interactions: Log outbound link clicks for analytics or campaign tracking.
Validate URLs: Ensure URLs are not empty or malformed before calling the action.

Caveats

Internet dependency: Requires network connectivity; handle failures gracefully.
No data return: The action does not return content from the URL — it only handles navigation.
Unsupported protocols: Non-HTTP/HTTPS links (e.g., mailto: or custom schemes) are not guaranteed to work.
