Links in tags should also open in separate tabs
Closed, ResolvedPublic3 Estimated Story PointsFeature

Description

Noticed during QA of T274604: Add i18n for the tags display and T275087: Vue display version does not include tags

As a user,
When I click on a link within a tag description,
I expect the link to open in a new tab, like for links to the pages themselves,
But instead it opens in the same tab
