We should have as standard setting, that an inserted link opens a) in same window, if going to any imaginary.org/... page b) in new window, if going to any outside page.

elondaits commented 8 years ago

Opening links in a new windows is discouraged by usability and accessibility guidelines. See for example:

https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/07/should-links-open-in-new-windows/

and

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/G200.html

at one point it was even removed from the HTML standard as a possibility (and it was reinstated just because people were still doing it using javascript).

Thanks Eric for the info, if this is the standard, then we leave it this way!
