I had a conversation with our Technology Accessibility Team last week -
they were asking me if we could implement an automated icon addition for
links which open in an external tab. Apparently there are some WCAG
compliance implications of opening a link in a new tab.

not/
This may be the responsibility of the theme, rather than being a core
WordPress function. I thought it was worth mentioning, since it came up.
