Anchor tag is not working when adding HtmlFragment inside Table Cell - Aspose.PDF for .NET

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

I am using Aspose Pdf dll (licensed version) in my .Net application for Pdf. In my pdf document, I am putting an hyperlink with a string. Currently when I click it opens in the same tab, but I want it to open in new tab. Is it possible to achieve this using Aspose Pdf for .Net?
Here is how I am adding the link:

Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextFragment hyperlinkText = new Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextFragment(downloadText);
var hpr = new WebHyperlink();
hpr.Url = downloadUrl; // need add hyperlink url here
hyperlinkText.Hyperlink = hpr;
hyperlinkText.TextState.ForegroundColor = Color.Blue;

I am passing html tags in the HtmlFragment. The text contains any link coming from other source. As (www.google.com) under the name “Google” which appears in our text here in this example just for testing. But in the generated ouput pdf, the link is just as normal text, it’s not clickable as a link. Here is my code.

   private void AddSummary(Table tableLayout, string textHeader, string textBody)
    {
        HtmlFragment formattedText = new HtmlFragment(textBody);
        formattedText.HtmlLoadOptions = new HtmlLoadOptions();

        //adding text header of the page
        Row headerRow = tableLayout.Rows.Add();
        Cell headerCell = headerRow.Cells.Add(textHeader);
        headerCell.DefaultCellTextState.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
        headerCell.DefaultCellTextState.FontSize = 12;
        headerCell.DefaultCellTextState.FontStyle = FontStyles.Bold;
        headerCell.ColSpan = 2;
        headerCell.Margin = new MarginInfo(0, 30, 10, 0);

        Row mainRow = tableLayout.Rows.Add();
        Cell leftCell = mainRow.Cells.Add(" ");

        Cell rightCell = mainRow.Cells.Add();
        rightCell.Paragraphs.Add(formattedText);
        rightCell.Margin = new MarginInfo(0, 50, 10, 10);
    }

Here is the output screenshot.

I am passing the string to “textBody” containing Html paragraph tag which contains the link which further being passed to HtmlFragment.

<p>This is sample text to check whether our link <a href="http://www.google.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Google</a> working or not in the pdf.</p>
