 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, one was opened 11 years ago!
 Yikes!

 #20839

 The comments in that ticket 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 :)

 Can you please correct this?
