Links inside comments replacing current page rather than taking me to new tab url

Question

It appears, adding comment with link to post at askubuntu.com loading new url to current page rather than new tab.
How about adding a target="_blank" with every link so I dont lose my current conversion and open a new askubuntu page and start conversation again?

You can always return to where you were with the back button of your browser. Or (depending on the browser) using one of the keyboard modifiers (Ctrl, Alt, etc.) to open it in a new tab.

Personally, I prefer that to each click automatically opening a new tab. That gets messy if you do it too often.
