Comment (by afercia):

 From an accessibility point of view the best option would be avoiding
 links that open new tabs/windows but if you really need to use
 `target=_blank` you should definitely inform users that link will open a
 new tab/window. Users need to be informed about a change of context before
 it happens. Would recommend to use additional, descriptive, text on the
 link and hide it with `screen-reader-text`.
