How can I stop clicked search results in Bing Custom search from opening in new tabs?

I'm using Bing Custom Search UI in an application that I'm building without code but once results are displayed, on click of a result, it opens in a new tab, in my default browser. I would not like clicked results (for example; images, videos, or websites) to open in a new tab. I just want them to open on the same page. I can't find any option for opening clicked results in a new tab or keeping clicked results on the same page in the Bing Custom Search UI configuration options. What would be the solution to this problem or is there something that I may be overlooking in the custom search UI?

@Alex-9313 There is an option to configure this behavior of your hosted UI by clicking Show advanced configurations -> Link target
This determines if the webpage opens in a new browser tab (Blank) or the same browser tab (self) when the user clicks a search result.

You can lookup this option and more in the documentation mentioned here.
