TYPO3 Core

Each page has a "target" configuration under "behaviour" tab. For both shortcut as default page this is configurable.

The default page works as intended, when _blank configured in target the page generates a link with _blank.
However if the page is then changed to "shortcut" to another page inside the tree, this is ignored. The targeted (shortcut) page configuration is used.

Two options available;

1) Fix the expected workflow for URL target. Force the configured page details with the shortcut id.
2) Remove the url target option in shortcut.

Problem cause by typo3/sysext/frontend/Classes/ContentObject/ContentObjectRenderer.php:6049 (in 6.2.14) which override the page configuration to the targeted page before generating the link.

I can fix this, but want to discuss which option is preferred.
