GitHub and opening links in new tab - not possible? #25

I love having links open in a new tab. From some brief research, this doesn't seem to be possible in Markdown unless you load "HTML packages" or plugins. So I suppose you always have to just CTRL click on links here. Figured I'd share the info in case anyone else was wondering.

P.S. Wasn't sure if I should create a new label like "Announcements" for something like this... or maybe "Knowledge Share," but wasn't sure if we were allowed to create new labels.

Hi Marie. I KNOW! I struggle with this, too. You are correct, right-click → open in new tab. There's also a shortcut if you use the mouse-wheel click on a hyperlink, it will open in a new tab (see here).
