 The description for inserting links now shows "Open link in new tab",
 where it used to show "Open link in new window/tab". This is confusing for
 users as the choice of opening new links in a new tab or a new window is a
 browser-setting not something that is done through a 'target' parameter.

 Reverting to the original description ("Open link in new window/tab") is
 recommended to match expected user behaviour.
