If you manage the WordPress installation, can’t you disable the ability or create/install a plugin that removes that ability? This hurts usability.
I could, good point. I do disable plugins for clients so they can't beat up their own website too much.
Still, there are legitimate uses for opening a site in a new tab; e.g. when it's an external website. I don't think I should automate that, since there's a granularity in there.
This is not a legitimate use—this breaks the default user agent behavior & completely removes the autonomy of opening in the current window (there are tons of ways to open in a new tab/window). Consider rechecking the article linked higher up the thread tree.
