Yii Framework PHP redirect to external Link in new tab?

Hi what i essentially want to achieve is a redirect to an external link in a new tab right now I've got:

You cannot redirect in a new tab like this, as there's no way to specify the target in the Location http header.

A possible workaround is to output a form and submit it immediately with JS:

<form action="http://www.google.com" method="get" target="_blank" id="myform"></form>
<script>
  document.getElementById("myform").submit();
</script>

Note that you'll somehow need to hide it in your main content, that appears in the current tab.
