...Without resorting to loading a page with a button in the iframe.
There is a really bootleg way of doing it. If you have access to the global javascript or the javascript for the subaccount that the course is under, you can add a property to the link that will cause it to open in a new window. I just tried it with our Office Mix LTI link and it worked. You just need to know the course number and the external tool number. The external tool number can be seen by viewing the hyperlink for that that tool. Code looks like this:
$("[href='https://community.canvaslms.com/courses//external_tools/']").prop('target', '_New')
I got it working too by it opening a new tab/window when you navigate to our bespoke external tool, however it just opens a new Canvas session in the new tab where the tool is still showing in the iframe. I don't want the external tool to show in the iframe. Is there a way this can be done? Thank you.

I looked through the LTI Variable Substitutions documentation and while there are variable substitutions available for Canvas.term.name and Canvas.term.id (which is the Canvas incremented ID like "104"), I was surprised to see there was no option for Canvas.term.sisSourceId I tried testing other possible variants that may…
