Appreciate the PR, but this is not really something we like to do.

I personally get very annoyed when a website dictates that I must open something in a new tab (there's no easy way to avoid that with target). Initially this behavior was even deprecated in the HTML5 spec for what I believe were similar reasons.

We prefer to let users choose when to do this via their browser shortcuts (ctrl and cmd affectively).

Happy to continue the discussion, but at this point I'm siding on not doing this

Ok, I thought you guys just forgot.

I do get annoyed when a website opens a link to a totally different website in place instead of in a new tab. The icon kind of suggest that the site opens in a new tab as well, unfortunately you don't know until you click on it.

I guess it just comes down to what the user is used to. But if it's a usability decision to open the link in the same tab then leave it as it is.
