How to trigger a new window to be opened from a button click in Angular 2

Question

I have a button and on click of that button a new window should be opened with a new provided URL. For example:

<button class="btn btn-help"(click)="helpWindow($event)" type="submit"></button>

How do I handle this even at backend in the typescript file? I will get the URL from REST API and I want to open a new window with that link

helpWindow(event) {
  window.open(document.URL, '_blank', 'location=yes,height=570,width=520,scrollbars=yes,status=yes');
}

Is there an angular way to construct the URL if I need to attach query params? – adamdport May 22 '17 at 18:52
No, just use what plain JS/TS and browser API provide – Günter Zöchbauer May 22 '17 at 18:56
Thanks! I needed to use it in ` – Andrei Oct 03 '18 at 20:31
