Comment (by jason2022):

 This one seems like a no-brainer: when viewing the plugins listing page in
 wp-admin, several of the plugins have a "visit plugin site" link, which I
 expect would open the target page in a new window when clicked. Yet it
 navigates away from the wp-admin website and takes me the plugin's
 website.
 There are several tickets to get this fixed, this core ticket looks like
 it was opened 11 years ago! Yikes!

 The comments here are TLDR, for what seems like it should be an easy fix.
 It is a minor inconvenience, but eleven years without a fix? My morning
 alarm only allows me to snooze 3 times :)

 I'll live without this obviously, but it would be nice to get this bug
 fixed.
