#50817: TinyMCE: default_link_target is ignored

 Reporter:  utoppo        |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  defect (bug)  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  TinyMCE       |    Version:  trunk
 Severity:  minor         |   Keywords:  needs-patch
  Focuses:  javascript    |
--------------------------+-----------------------------
 I use the following filter, to set the default_link_target for TinyMCE to
 _blank:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 function default_link_target_blank($opt) {
         $opt['default_link_target'] = "_blank";
         return $opt;
 }

 add_filter( 'tiny_mce_before_init', 'default_link_target_blank');
 }}}

 The setting itself works. I can access the setting inside a TinyMCE plugin
 via the follwing JavaScript-Code:

 {{{
 editor.on('init', () => {
   console.log(editor.getParam('default_link_target'))
 })
 // output is: ‘_blank’
 }}}

 The problem is, that the default_link_target-setting is never taken into
 account inside the wplink-Plugin of WordPress:

 {{{
 src/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wplink/plugin.js
 }}}


 I have a Bugfix ready on a cloned repository of
 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop

 Unfortunately there is the following inside the .gitignore-file of the
 repository:

 {{{
 /src/wp-includes/js
 }}}

 Is there any other place, where I could commit changes to the JavaScript
 code? Did I miss something? How could I create a pull-request on the
 github-repository with changed JS-Code?
