Managing links to external websites

I want to end some slides with links to related websites.

When I preview the links in a browser, the links work as expected but when I click the back button to return to the module, the module returns to the first slide rather than to the slide on which the link was placed. Is there a way to change that or to have the link open in it's own window so that users can return to the slide they left?

The link is created using a Smart Shape with the Action - Open URL or file.
