 Replying to [comment:23 helen]:
 > We are talking about links that may or may not be on .org. What .org
 links in other places do is largely not relevant to this specific set of
 cases.

 I don't mind opening anew ticket for the rest of the links, but feels like
 a waste of time when it can all be handled here.

 The point is that a plugin might insert many more links into the admin
 page and there is no reason the same logic will not be applied to them.
 Either all links open in new window or none.

 > I'm confused about what the issue at hand is - is it that iOS has
 limitations or is it that there's opposition to ever opening a link in a
 new window/tab?

 Both.
