Hi - I'm using this snippet which is working perfectly:

<a href="[types field='slide-link' target='_blank' output='raw'][/types]"> Test Content</a>

however the target='_blank' attribute isn't opening the links in a new tab. Any idea why this is the case?

Try changing it so that the target attribute is part of the a tag and not part of the shortcode, e.g.

<a href="[types field='slide-link' output='raw'][/types]" target='_blank'> Test Content</a>
