Comment:

 I highly recommend using a shortcut such as Ctrl+click (or Command+click)
 to open links in a new tab exactly when you want them to open that way.
 Adding a `target` attribute takes away the user's choice, so #23432 and
 other tickets have purposely removed `target="_blank"` from many
 administration links.

 If you want the admin toolbar links in your site to include a `target`
 attribute, you technically could add that already with the
 [https://gist.github.com/sabernhardt/d6a8670913d76a5ab3fbdc8cd1f1e1f3
 'wp_before_admin_bar_render' hook]. Other New Post links might have ways
 to edit them, too, without JavaScript.
