I do wish that opening links in Lemmy opened them in a new browser tab (as is done in Mastodon) rather than opening them in the same tab. (lemmy.ca)

Subject covered in title. Is there way to set this up as a preference?

PR adding this feature has already been merged.
Why the hell would you be against the option to open links in a new tab? You can decide how you want links to open, it's not like the ability to open links in the same tab will disappear.

Because I am an idiot who clearly misunderstood that this would add an option allowing individual users to change the setting, rather than being a global change for all such links, or a setting that only instance admins had control over.
