p:menuitem target="_blank" doesn't open new window

[gold]

use Primeface 6.1

Following code:

Code: Select all

<h:form>
    <p:panelMenu style="width:150px">
        <p:submenu label="BBC" >
            <p:menuitem value="Home" url="http://bbc.co.uk" icon="ui-icon-link"  target="_blank" />
        </p:submenu>
    </p:panelMenu>
</h:form>

when menuitem click should open a window/new tab, but it doesn't.

Is target a supported attribute according to the docs?

I double checked the 6.1 doc, target is a supported attribute for menuitem, but is it this the correct way to open link in a new tab/window?
