Please don't implement this! I can now choose to open a link in a new tab (which I often do with a simple middle-mouse-click), but for sites with _blank I can't choose to open the link on the same page.
The Merit+ button opens in a new tab, unlike "Report to moderator". This limits my options as I can't open it in the same tab.

Previously, user-generated links would often open in a new window/tab. However, kcud_dab found out that there are security issues with this, so I removed it. You'll have to middle-click links if you want them to open in a new tab.
i'm asking for this only for external links; for internal redirection the behavior can remain as it is
The same applies for external links: I can open it any way I want now. After your suggestion, I only get a new tab.Quote
btw for phone you don't have a mouse 
, and that's why i am requesting this
Hold link > open in new tab. Is that what you wanted?, and that's why i am requesting this
