Confirm redirect in Cypress with out actually redirecting

I have a page that I'm testing and it has a button to press to get additional information. Normally when clicked it would navigate you to a different site (different domain). Now I know the limitations of Cypress and cross domain access in tests. However, it would suffice for my test to confirm that the location had been set to the new address with out having to verify anything on the target page.

Is that possible?
