Comment (by nicolamustone):

 Not sure why you say that i'm applying it globally.

 Let me do an example of where/when i would use it.

 I have a given file URL, escaped and all. In this case, i would open the
 URL in a new tab.


 {{{
 make_clickable( $file_url, true );
 }}}

 If instead i have a post URL, i'd not open it in a new tab, so i would
 make

 {{{
 make_clickable( $post_url );
 }}}

 If i have these 2 line of codes on the same page, they won't open both in
 a new tab, but only the first one, right?
