Is it possible to target="_blank" in Hugo without resorting to inline HTML?

mmm, and of course, we need a non-global way to do this :confused: - using the source level linking - oh joys - which is only triggered for markdown style links.

Here’s my a_blank.html shortcode, for anyone just looking for something to copy-paste:  <a target="_blank" href="{{ .Get 1 }}">{{ .Get 0 | markdownify }}</a> <i class="fa fa-external-link"></i> The <i>tag is for an external link icon , if you do…
