Comment (by joedolson):

 From an accessibility perspective, this would be a bad choice. WordPress
 should not make that decision for people; they can open the links in a new
 window if they wish.

 For accessibility, links should only be set to open in a new window if
 opening in the same window would disrupt a process (e.g., if the user
 needs help information while filling out a form).
