Go in backend to Users > Privacy (Dashboard).
This panel is show on the right, see the link 'Request Form Menu Item Published'.
It seems to be a link to the frontend, but opens in the backend.
Should open in frontend in new tab.
Opens in backend, replacing the backend interface.

There shouldn't be a `target="_blank" but is the observation correct that it should open the front-end instead of the back-end?
Yes. It is a link to the frontend request form (note here it is under the check of whether the frontend menu item is published, and the current frontend link is displayed regardless of a menu item being published so that the link can always be easily referenced).

@roland-d To be more precise: that link opens the frontend, but in the same browser tab as the backend, thus replacing the backend. I agree with Michael that it is just a check to see if a specific form (Privacy -> Create Request) has been published, although I would expect a link to a frontend item will open in a new browser tab and doesn't replace the backend.
I'm sure @brianteeman has the reference more handy than me but there are accessibility concerns with arbitrarily opening links in new browser tabs or windows as well, which is part of the reason we don't add the target attribute to links.

There isn't a
target="_blank"
on the link and IMO there shouldn't be.
