Comment:

 Replying to [comment:2 cadillacs]:
 > In summary, my recommendation is to analyze in which links, for
 usability issues, the implementation of the target="_ blank" attribute
 should be allowed, for example, in the links discussed in this ticket
 ("Author URI" and "Plugin URI" ), but postponing each link a small popup
 icon (the open in a new window icon).

 Thanks! Good points here, but let's please continue the discussion on the
 original ticket, #20839, to keep it one place, as previous comments there
 have some more context and would also need to be taken into consideration.

 See also #23432 for reviewing the usage of `target="_blank"` in other
 links across the admin.

 Adjusting the focuses, as some of them don't seem relevant for this
 ticket:

 * `performance` is generally used for tickets aiming to improve
 performance of individual functions or methods.
 * `template` is related to theme templating.
 * `coding standards` is related to [https://developer.wordpress.org
 /coding-standards/wordpress-coding-standards/ language-specific coding
 standards] and issues identified by [https://github.com/WordPress
 /WordPress-Coding-Standards WPCS].
