 While reading https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/12/05/wordpress-4-7
 -field-guide/, which contains many embeds, I wanted to open up all items
 of interest in new tabs so I could read through them.

 In Firefox, mousewheel-clicking, ctrl-clicking, or right clicking a link
 in an embed immediately opens the link in the same tab (in the last case,
 without the normal right click menu appearing at all).

 In Chrome, mousewheel-clicking does nothing; ctrl-clicking opens it in the
 same tab, while right clicking does work.

 This appears to all be caused by the sandbox attribute on the iframe.

 Not allowing the link to open in a new tab seems very wrong, especially
 when multiple embeds are in a post.
