[v2] links: nav & footer links (href) without target="_blank"

🚀 Feature

Currently, I can set href for nav and footer links in docusaurus.config.js for the classic-theme but they always render with target="_blank". It would be great if that could be disabled/changed, so that the link will open in the current browser tab rather than opening a new one.

Have you read the [Contributing Guidelines on issues]

Yes

Motivation

I think it is such an essential thing that it should be part of the classic-theme. I mean I could eject the header and footer and just do it myself but that would disconnect me from the theme which seems a little overpowered for such a small change.

Pitch

There could be a config option next to href to control the target, e.g. linkTarget with a default value of _blank or an option targetBlank with default value true.

You can add the target property, and thereby override the default value, eg:

{
  href: 'https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus',
  label: 'GitHub',
  position: 'right',
  target: '_self',
},

Yes, exactly. I got the 404 with to:/, so I switched to using href. Having logo.target would be great. Let me know if you want a PR for this.
