how to open the URL on the body of the page

Question

I need to open the external link on the body of the page without going to new tab 

I tried target (blank.self, parent) which are for opening a new tab. however. I need to specify tag such div or any thing to display the page when the link is clicked from the menu. 

 

this the link
<span >External Links</span></a>
                          <ul style="list-style:none">
                              <li><a href ="https://blackboard.brad.ac.uk/webapps/portal/execute/tabs/tabAction?tab_tab_group_id=_14_1" target="_self">Blackboard</a></li>

                               <li><a href="https://evision.brad.ac.uk/urd/sits.urd/run/SIW_LGN" target="_self">e:Vision</a></li>
                               </ul>


this the body of the page between section (main-content)

  <section id="main-content">
          <section class="wrapper">
                   <div class="col-lg-3 ds" style="width: 70%; Height: auto; margin-left:-15px;" onscroll="true">
