Open social media and other links on profile page in a new tab #383

Issue: Currently, the social media links (GitHub, LinkedIn, Twitter, personal website) in the profile page open in the same tab. It would be beneficial to have them open in a new tab to improve user experience.

Suggestion: I suggest modifying the behavior of these links to open in a new tab, allowing users to keep their and other WakaTime profile pages open.

I don't like forcing new tab, because the link can always be opened in a new tab with CTRL/CMD clicking. GitHub profiles also don't open links in new tabs.
