This should work on safari as well, but you can add a target to the link by adding target="_blank". This opens the link in a new tab and should also open in a new window on safari. Here is an example:
<a href="https://example.com" target="_blank">Link text.</a>
In your case wrap the input in a link:
<input
id="googleLink"
style="display: none"
>
If you dont want to do this with html and instead an onclick function, you could also use the onclick="location.href='https://example.com'"

“Open in Background” (new tab) not working on iOS | MacRumors Forums
October 3, 2023 - So it would request the mobile site by default (and probably on new tabs). If I set the Website setting (aA in address bar when visiting the site) to Desktop website the bug was gone. If I set it back to mobile site it would reappear. I had a setting for macrumours to loadDesktop by default. If I set it to mobile it would now also show the bug on my iPad. I could not reproduce this behavior on my iphone. It would always open the link correctly.

Why’s “open link in new tab” not working in Safari + iOS 10 + iPhone 7? – Relentless Simplicity
After much searching, I eventually learned this behavior isn’t a “bug.” According to Apple, it is the “feature” that they have long been marketing as “3d touch.” That is, your iPhone is now paying attention to how hard your touch your Safari links. If you hold a link “hard,” then, instead of popping up the context menu that allows you to open the link in a new tab, you instead get the obnoxious popup preview of the next page.

Can't Open Link in New Tab on iPad - Apple Community
Turning off iCloud would have nothing to do with how links open when you click on them, Set up iCloud for Safari on all your devices. To open a link in a new tab, you need to do so from the menu by touching and holding the link and selecting "Open in New Tab" when the menu pops up.

This should work on safari as well, but you can add a target to the link by adding target="_blank". This opens the link in a new tab and should also open in a new window on safari. Here is an example:
<a href="https://example.com" target="_blank">Link text.</a>
In your case wrap the input in a link:
<input
id="googleLink"
style="display: none"

You can try the below
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="200" height="100" style="border: 1px solid #000;" onclick="myFunction('thisURL')"></canvas>
<script>
function myFunction(url) {
window.open(url, '_blank').focus();
}
</script>

Cant open new tabs in safari - Apple Community
I had that issue at one point. It seemed to resolve itself at some point, but I’d recommend opening a new tab the alternate way, which is to drag the bottom tab bar to open a new tab. While not the most convenient, it should be a good workaround for now.

r/chrome on Reddit: iOS 15 - open in new tab
June 18, 2021 -
With this new iOS 15 update, holding down on something I want to open in a new tab, it used to open a few options. Now, it just hovers and does nothing with no setting to open in new tab.
I'm not sure you'd understand exactly how it is without having seen it yourself but if anyone has any idea as to how to open things in new tabs now with this new update then please let me know :)

Updated chrome and still have the problem. It’s so annoying because I normally open about a dozen new tabs of stuff I want to read before I start reading them.
