Comment:

 Hi @akshaykungiri,

 WordPress is working towards removing `target=_blank` from links in the
 admin as it allows users to decide whether they want the link to open in a
 new tab or the same tab. There are some accessibility and usability with
 sites (in this case the WordPress dashboard) making the decision for
 users.

 There's a few tickets to remove such links, #23432 being a long running
 example of such a discussion.

 I'm going to close this ticket as wontfix, which is trac's term to
 indicate something isn't planned.
