angular ui router - Angularjs $state open link in new tab

Question

I'm trying to implement an "open link in new tab" function using $state.go function. It would be awesome if there was smth like:

$state.go('routeHere', {
    parameter1 : "parameter"
    }, {
    reload : true,
    newtab : true // or smth like target : "_blank"
});

Is there any way to do that using AngularJS?

Update: OK, I just solved it using the following code:

var url = $state.href('myroute', {parameter: "parameter"});
window.open(url,'_blank');
