Cyberchef: Misc: Make Render Markdown use target="_blank"

[twilight-sparkle-irl]

It'd just be nice to have links open in a new tab instead of killing my CC sesh.
(I'm using it to generate complex links on the fly based on input, so this is quite bothersome.)

I tend to err on the side of leaving the default behaviour for links and letting the user decide how they want to open them. You can always use a middle click, Ctrl+Click (or Cmd on Mac), or right-click + 'Open in new tab' to get that behaviour yourself. There's an interesting article on this subject here: https://medium.com/the-metric/links-should-open-in-the-same-window-447da3ae59ba

If people disagree with me I'm happy to discuss this further.

I, unfortunately, have a touchpad, and cannot middleclick. Every other option is a few more steps than I'd like, and at the very least, having it as an option would be nice -- when what I'm using is not a website but a tool that would generate URLs, having the option to not clobber the tool when I click on something is useful.

You can usually trigger a middle click with both left/right click at the
same time on touchpads. Can also do a right-click and then "open in new
tab".

I'm keen for the default behaviour to be a normal link, but I'm not against having an option that enables this functionality if desired.
