Hyperlinks open in a new tab

[arryllopez]

Some readers find that external links (e.g., to example.com) open in the same browser tab, which interrupts their reading experience of the book.

Currently, on GitHub, the Markdown does not support forcing links to open in a new tab. There is a known limitation in GitHub’s Markdown rendering where target="_blank" isn’t preserved. However, since this book is built with mdBook, we could consider integrating a preprocessor like mdbook-external-links to automatically add target="_blank" for external URLs.

Would you be open to adding this kind of support? I’m happy to prepare a PR if this fits the project direction.
