I’d like to chime in along with all the others suggesting that their own approach to JSON linking is the best! My approach is a part of the Object Network. Basically, because the Object Network is based on common, shared, stable types or formats, you simply know that something is a link, just by looking at its tag. Here’s a simple example, of a calendar event object that links to a contact object for its location, and user objects for its attendees: { “is”: [ “event” ], “title”: “Over the Air 2011”, “content”: “Top Mobile Meetup at Bletchley Park”, “start”: “Fri, 30 Sep 2011 09:00:00 GMT”, “end”: “Sat, 1 Oct 2011 23:00:00 GMT”, “location”: “http://mansions.com/on/uid-594342-34234.json”, “attendees”: [ “http://nicefolk.com/on/uid-06-7d5d.json”, ..

Add a <a> tag with href and target="_black" for opening the link in new tab and use split to remove the href from json.

$.each(data.person, function(i, person) {
            var tblRow =    "<tr><td>" + person.revisiondate + 
                            "</td><td>" + person.documentname +

You should remove the attrribute 'href' from your json

Or you could just add single quotes to your json data links like so

var data = {
        "person": [{
            "revisiondate": "21 April 2016",
            "documentname": "1658MC",
            "department": "Sales",
            "description": "Available",
            "link": "href='1658MC.pdf'"
        }, {
            "revisiondate": "16 April 2016",
            "documentname": "VCX16B",
            "department": "Enginnering",
            "description": "Not Available",
            "link": "href='VCX16B.pdf'"
        }, {
            "revisiondate": "15 March 2016",
            "documentname": "AB36F",
            "department": "Custumer Services",
            "description":  "Not Available",
            "link": "href='AB36F.pdf'"
        }, {
            "revisiondate": "12 Agust 2016",
            "documentname": "FC25D",
            "department": "Technical Support",
            "description": "Not Available",
            "link": "href='FC25D.pdf'"
        }]


$.each(data.person, function(i, person) {
            var tblRow =    "<tr><td>" + person.revisiondate + 
                            "</td><td>" + person.documentname + 
                            "</td><td>" + person.department +
                            "</td><td>" + person.description + 
                            "</td><a " + person.link + ">link text</a><td>" +
