Yeah, the not being able to open a new tab/window issue comes up on here often. Some folks on here have has success with `.invoke('removeAttr', 'target')`, so for you it would be:

```
 cy.get("form center:first-child input[tabindex='0']")
   .invoke('removeAttr', 'target')
   .click()
```
Also, consider adding some test ids to your application if possible
