How do you pause the user's WestlawNext session and link out?

In Westlaw Next - is there a shared JS function for pausing the user's session to, say, link out to an external URL?

  • Cobalt Static content has this function you can call "website_LinkoutAndShowTimeoutLightboxExternal(linkExternalUrl, title);" which is in the CobaltMaster.js. This will link out on a new tab and open a light box (Cobalt.Widget.BeginResumeResearch). This widget will call Website to pause the session using the GetPauseView endpoint and will publish a hub event "Cobalt.Website.BillingSuspend".
