Comment:

 Hi @derweili, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

 > Instead of linking to the respository, we could link to the plugin-
 install.php with the classic editor pre-selected. (if this is possible)

 This would be the preferred option here. It was previously done in [43946]
 an [43952] for 5.0 About page (some comments on #45178 have more details,
 starting with comment:42:ticket:45178).

 Forcing links to open in a new tab should be avoided for
 [https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/theme-school/theme-
 accessibility/ accessibility reasons]:
 > Avoid `target="_blank"` in your links. It can be confusing to all types
 of users, especially for visually impaired folks. They can wind up with
 all sorts of open tabs that they don’t even know about. Leave the control
 of whether the link opens in the same window or in another tab in the
 hands of users.
