[FEATURE] Add-PnPNavigationNode Set the option "Open in new tab" on navigation links

[ChredP]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As of October 2022 Microsoft has added the option "Open in new tab" to navigation links.
Today this is not possible to configure with PNP Powershell.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add-PnPNavigationNode should have an extra property of type bool called something like "OpenInNewTab"
This should also be supported in Get-PnPSiteTemplate and Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate

Describe alternatives you've considered
As far as I know there is no alternative to this

Additional context
Relevant Microsoft 365 roadmap

Hello,

I just found this question, Do you know if there is something avaliable in pnp provisioning to set up a node to be open in a new tab? since this is available on Oct 2022

[ChredP]

As far as I can tell it's not in pnp provisioning.
So at the moment I don't see any way to set the "Open in new tab" setting via a template or script.

[UrsWedershoven]

This would be a great enhancement, also in the context of provisioning templates. There exists a property "external", but I do not get, what that does.

Are there any changes for this requirement or it still is not considered yet ?
Microsoft has been recommending to use PnP PowerShell for developments and scripts however still its missing many parameters.

[lovnish87]

Looking forward for this to be included.

Closing this as a PR has been merged , a new parameter OpenInNewTab has been added.
It will be available in tomorrow's nightly build and the next major version whenever it is released

Doesn't appear to be working - no error thrown, but not successfully adding the property.
Import-Module PnP.PowerShell -RequiredVersion 2.1.77 -Force
$sourceConnection = Connect-PnPOnline forsmarshgroup.sharepoint.com/sites/Dev -Interactive -ReturnConnection
Add-PnPNavigationNode -Location QuickLaunch -Url "https://google.com" -Title "googs" -Connection $sourceConnection -OpenInNewTab
Remove-Module PnP.PowerShell -Force

returns

but "Open link in new window" remains unchecked

I'm having the similar results as fmg-mkotwicki, no errors but Open in a new tab is not checked when I edit via GUI
