Open Link in New Tab (target="_blank")
See original GitHub issueWhen clicking a link where target="_blank" the resultant page loads in the current tab.
EG:
<a href="https://www.github.com" target="_blank">GitHub</a>
GitHub
The expected/conventional behaviour is to open such links in a new tab.
Can the app either adhere to the conventional behaviour or provide the ability to enable/disable it via the options menu?

This final fix for this is now merged and will be available in the next release. Thanks for reporting it @thecliguy and for helping us solve it @donfuxx.
A lot of users are asking for this so we have decided to add it. We’ll start by honoring the default behavior without a toggle but may introduce one if we need to later.
