Hi,

app.createAnchor('Go Back','

this opens in the new window. Is it possible to change default behavior and open page in the same windows?
How to open in the same window.

This is the expected behavior for the Google Script anchor method.
It is not possible at this time to select the window open.
Changed type=Enhancement

Marked as fixed.

You can now use .setTarget("_self"); to open links in the same window and .setTarget("_blank"); to open links in new tab/window. NOTE: this only works when running script as a service. This will not work when displaying UiApp in Spreadsheet.

Hi I'm using the Apps Script as an embedded gadget on a site, and discovered the setTarget('_self') does not work. Any idea?

Google kindly fixed it for a stand-alone service outside of Site's or
Doc's...But, only fixed in a stand-alone service for now.
