 Hello,

 Came across the codex links for Cookies when reviewing #46254 and thought
 they should be external links.

 There's loads of codex links in WP and am wondering if they should open in
 a new tab with the security rel set for noopener.

 I found the CSS codex link does open in a new tab and has screenreader
 text;
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/d9a1f99d9ce352a0e151169c3612b00c4c146ddf
 /wp-includes/class-wp-customize-manager.php#L5567-L5573

 Along with adding the `rel="noopener noreferrer"` should we make other doc
 links open in a new tab?

 Thanks
