Clicking external link within search results with EXT_LINKS_IN_WINDOW=YES opens the link in the search results box #9284

Description

@oblivioncth

Describe the bug
If EXT_LINKS_IN_WINDOW=YES, when clicking on an external link in the search results window, the page the link points to is loaded within the confines of the search results box, instead of opening in a new browser tab/window. Needless to say the resultant display is essentially unusable.

This is with default search engine settings.

Expected behavior
Clicking an external link in the search results drop-down while this option is enabled opens the page in a new tab/window like it would if the link was anywhere else.

Screenshots
Search results:
doxy-search-results

After clicking 'QBitArray' (first link under first heading):
doxy-external-in-search

To Reproduce
Doxygen_EXT_LINKS_IN_WINDOW_search_window_issue_MRE.zip

Makes use of one tag file from Qt 6.2.3.
