Redirecting to an external page, using any of the methods below, doesn't seem to work:

<a href="http://www.google.com" data-rel="external">
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank" data-rel="external">

The expected result is that in, for example Ion, Safari is opened with the external link. The actual result is that a child browser seems to open, taking up the entire screen and thus blocking the app.

I seem to recall this worked just fine in a previous Icenium version. So perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

Hi,

Indeed it seems this behavior was changed, but strangely we cannot find any information on it. Still you can use window.open with _system as second argument as shown here.
