Do you make external links open on a new tab?

<introEmbed body={<> External links should **open in a new tab** (by using HTML's **target="\_blank"**). Since browsers implemented tabs (replacing new window), it's considered a good practice to open external links in a different tab. </>} />

Main reasons are:

• Avoiding 'Back-Button Fatigue';
• Keeping 'User Flow';
• Keeping a good track of Analytics
