Accessibility standards discourage forcing a new tab/window to be opened with links.

If you search through the issue history, there's been more references to the relevant documentation posted here in the past. Unfortunately, I've never actually read it, but the person (who is blocked from participating here at the moment) who has shared that info has posted references a few times as well.

its a personal view: i like external Urls in an external tab (learned long time ago so). But Accessibility beats.
