There's 2 things here I want to pick out.

1. Using the actual URL instead of "#" in the rendered HTML so you can right
click and say "Open in new tab" or "Copy URL".

2. Adding features to the link dialog, in this case adding a link that will
open the link target in a new tab.

To the first point, this is going to happen, the use of # has always been a
hack and will go away soon.  Especially since we can't perform copy and paste
from JavaScript due to security issues with clipboard access, it's important to
us to retain the native menus and selection systems on all devices.

As for the link inspector, we are still experimenting with this design but
essentially our use of lightweight inline dialog-like "inspectors" is going to
increase over time. The link inspector right now is very primitive, but will
soon have the ability to provide suggestions and validation for link targets as
you type. We will be adding other things too, such as a link to launch the
target in a new tab, as we believe they are needed and they will remain if they
can be proven worthy of the screen space in user testing.
