Today, it's very likely that browsers will open links with a
`target="_blank"` attribute in a new browser's tab rather than in a new
window. It is true that this depends also on user settings, but in the
vast majority of the cases they will open in a new tab.
Considering also the propsed change in Gutenberg, see
https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/6245, I'd propose to just
change "window" to "tab".
