Comment (by joedolson):

 Yes, but if you do set it explicitly, then you're applying the attribute
 globally (unless I misunderstand what you're doing). If you're making all
 URLs that are automatically linked also open in a new tab, then you're
 definitely not considering them individually according to whether they're
 in a situation that would be appropriately opened in a new window.

 In almost all cases, links should not be opened in new tabs for
 accessibility, so I don't think it's a wise to make it easier to do it
 without careful consideration of context.
