Comment:

 @bhargavmehta Yes, I understand your suggestion, but just because a link
 leads to another site does not automatically mean that you should open it
 in a new window or tab.

 You open new windows or tabs when there is a specific reason to do so,
 like when you open up instructions for using the current page in some way.
 Opening things in new spaces when there is no reason is a bad behavior and
 should not be encouraged.

 You can find more information about this here:

 See number 9. I kinda trust Jakob Neilsen when it comes to usability. :)
