Regarding issue #6946 :- Thank you for your response. Actually we have some dependency around this scenario, could you please take this scenario bit early if possible. Your help will be appreciated.
We have a similar issue in angular12 project:
<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="d-block">Download</a>by clicking on the link we download the static file.
On click, we see that a new window has been opened but is closed after a few milliseconds, and the file is not downloaded.
