Comment:

 Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac!

 Thanks for the ticket, we're already tracking this enhancement in #20839
 and #41202.

 See comment:4:ticket:41202 for why this is not implemented yet:
 > There is an ongoing discussion about links with target _blank, see
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?keywords=~target-blank.
 >
 > Ideally, users should have the choice to open a link. Browsers have
 tabbed navigation since years and years. In very, limited, specific cases,
 for example to avoid data loss, it might make sense to use target _blank.
 In this case, users should be informed the link is going to open in a new
 tab (or window, depending on browser settings).
