How to create a link (of selected text part) that by default opens in a NEW browser tab?

[Eugene Yegorov]

Is it possible to create a link (out of the selected text part) that will by default open in a NEW browser tab instead of the current tab?

Thanks!

Add this to Custom HTML settings At end of the HEAD to open any external links in new Tab.

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery(".external-link").attr("target", "_blank");
});
</script>
