Visio Webpart-links opens in new tab

Question

Hi, 
I have created a Visio-document with some shapes. I have set hyperlinks to other .aspx-files in the
SitePages-library on these shapes.
Everytime I click on a linked shape it opens in a new tab. How can I solve this? 
For your information: The ShapeSheet in Visio is correctly set up. "NewWindow" is set to "False". 
I have Sharepoint 365. 
Thanks in advance!

Hi  Thomas,
According to your description, my understanding is that the hyperlink of
 Visio document  opens with new tab.
For my test, I create a rectangle with hyperlink 
in a Visio document and  set the NewWindow property of the hyperlink to false using VB coding as below:
Public Sub NewWindow_Example()
Dim vsoHyperlink As Visio.Hyperlink
Set vsoHyperlink = ActivePage.DrawRectangle(0,0,5,5).AddHyperlink
vsoHyperlink.Address = "http://www.microsoft.com/"
vsoHyperlink.NewWindow = False
End Sub
But this hyperlink opens in new tab in my SharePoint 2013 Online as your scenario. It is by default that SharePoint 2013 Visio Service deals with
 the hyperlink of Visio document. There is no approach that Microsoft Visio keep the same location when it follows a hyperlink to open a Web page.
