Optionally make links open in a new browser tab?

[metawops]

How would I add a new boolean parameter for my config.toml file of my hugo blog that would switch between (all) links opening in a new browser tab (target="_blank") or in the same tab? 😳

This is not pretty, and I am pretty sure the effect is not what you want.

But if you put this in /layouts/partials/header/custom.html, it will open every link in a new tab. Even the post title links! It works. I tried it.

<base target="_blank">

@metawops Yeah, @sandipb is right, this is mostly about HTML than hyde-hyde specific. Just set the <base target...> and you are good to go.
