Comment (by nicolamustone):

 Replying to [comment:1 joedolson]:
 > Thanks for the contribution, Nicola! However, for accessibility, I
 strongly recommend against this; links should not open in new windows
 except in very special cases, and implementing a method to do this
 globally is something I don't think is a good idea.

 Hey joedolson, thanks for sharing your idea about this.
 Why do you think is not good for accessibility?

 You can still use it without the second attribute, which by default is
 setted to false, so you can completely ignore it if you don't need it
 explicitely.
