I am developing a Nextjs app and would want to direct user to another link using router.push but I do not know how to open the link in new tab. please advice. thank you.

My code is like this right now:

import { useRouter } from "next/navigation";

const router = useRouter();

 <Button
          onClick={() => {
            router.push(`${mylink}`);
          }}
        >
          Order
</Button>

    I figured out the issue I had to use the code below and get it working for external links.

    Best for internal links:

    import { useRouter } from "next/navigation";

const router = useRouter();

<Button
  onClick={() => {
    router.push(`${mylink}`);
     }}>
      Order
</Button>

    But for external links it is better to use window.open() like the code below.

    <Button
  onClick={() => {
    window.open({mylink});
     }}>
      Order
</Button>

    What router.push does is a redirection to the route you defined. Here what you want is to open a new tab on a different link.
    You can use NextJS Link and set the target as _blank

    import Link from "next/link";

<Link href={mylink} target="_blank">Order</Link>

    If you want a button you can do it like this

    <Link href={mylink} target="_blank">
 <Button>Order</Button>
</Link>
