Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Every time I add a link with target="_blank" in the backend, it forcefully adds the icon indicating the external url. Usually it isn't a problem but occasionally I want to use an icon that better fits the situation or no icon at all. For my custom component, this isn't an issue but whenever I have to do something similar outside of my component I'm forced to either include a custom css file just for this or to live with the icon
Describe the solution you'd like
A class to disable the icon would be very helpful, something like
a[target=_blank].no-target-blank::before {
display: none !important;
}
Or even a modification to the existing style
a[target=_blank]:not(.no-target-blank)::before {
[...]
}

What is the problem with using a custom CSS (user.css)?

I don't really have a concrete answer with what would be a better icon, and while I understand that the icon is being added for a11y functionality I do think it could be helpful in fringe instances. That said, I'm doing a pretty poor job at explaining my reasoning or defending it and maybe it would be best to just handle those fringe instances myself.

Removing the icon in your component means that you have other methods for indicating external links?
Joomla 4 aims to be accessible (AA) and indication external links is mandatory.
"no-target-blank" is not an option. If you have better icons - which would you suggest?
