Hi Mari,

Wouldn't this result in too many tabs opening up as there will be a new tab
opening whenever a users clicks on a link.

With how it is now, if a user wants to view the linked section in a new
tab, they can always right click and then click *Open Link in New Tab*/*Open
Link in New Window* right.

So do you think we really need this?

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Nisrin
