22,916 PointsI would like links to open in a new tab.
I'm a frequent user of this community and one of the very few things that annoys me is that the links open in the same tab.
Every now and then, someone posts a snapshot or a link the the project or course they are working on and i want to keep an eye on the question but see what they are doing as well. If the link should open in a new tab, it would be a lot easier to distinguish the different things i am looking for.
I might be a simple man and get distracted too fast though. :P
For the record, i do know and use the open in new tab method, of course. It just seems like it would be easier if links would do this themselves.

good habit that i've gotten used to doing :)
