Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Somewhat; for internal links, the current browser window should be used. External links, however, should be opened in a new tab with rel="noopener noreferer"
Describe the solution you'd like
Perhaps it's possible to hook into the link generator and check if it's an internal vs. external link, then apply the <a> attributes accordingly.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Leaving it as-is.
