Question about links opening in new tabs/windows

Hello,

I have a questions regarding links that open in a new tab/window. Does
there need to be some kind of notification for users of assistive devices
when links open in new tabs/windows, or is this a common enough action that
additional information is not needed?

If this 'event' needs to be announced, what is the best method?
