Comment:

 There is an ongoing discussion about links with target _blank, see
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=!closed&keywords=~target-
 blank.
 Ideally, users should have the choice to open a link. Browsers have tabbed
 navigation since years and years. In very, limited, specific cases, for
 example to avoid data loss, it might make sense to use target _blank. In
 this case, users should be informed the link is going to open in a new tab
 (or window, depending on browser settings).
