Polymer Routing with page.js do not add hashbang to URLs when links are opened in new tab

Question

I am using polymer starter kit which uses page.js for routing. The hashbang page option is set to true in routing.html

// add #! before urls
page({
  hashbang: true
});

when links such as <a href="/products/productname"></a> are clicked, the #! is added and the resulting url looks like this: http://localhost:3000/#!/products/productname but when the links are opened in a new browser tab, they look like this http://localhost:3000/products/productname . How can I have the #! added when links are opened in new tab?

Answer 1

you have to write

<a href="#!/products/productname"

in every your href
