New description:

 I think it would be better for a UX to open a support page about the new
 WordPress update in the new tab instead of the same tab as the website
 administration originally is open in.

 Do follow along at #23432, however, for the larger question!

Comment:

 Closing this as wontfix. We'll definitely give some thought to adding
 indicators for external links throughout the site, to give users better
 information to decide whether or not to open a link in a new tab, but we
 won't force links to open in new tabs unless it's contextually necessary.
