 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".
