.md has no such functionality. You can use html tags.

I tried using HTML but it wasn't working adding target="_blank"

Ok sorry haven't looked correctly 😅 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41915571/open-link-in-new-tab-with-github-markdown-using-target-blank seems there is no target in github readme... may some of you have an other solution

[Aanandgupta]

Thank you for your responses but Nothing worked for me

It won't work maybe because it's security features of GitHub, they don't allow that thing to work in markdown.

I _think_ xhtml might make a way(*investigating further on this)

Checkout the second "Hello World" over here.. It opens into a new tab.
