Re: Opens In New Window

Here's a draft
https://codepen.io/Wildebrew/pen/yqNWXG

The Code Pen UI is a mess
so I messed something up for the first example (lins that open in new
window based on the target attribute). It works fine on my local file
but the Coe Pen version does not work.
The second example is based on a class selector and it works (in Jaws
with Chrome or Firefox).

I'll fix the example as soon as I have a chance. Feel free to take a
look at the strategy and to use it or ditch it. It's just one approach
to solving the problem. I find a temping solution if we need to add
screen reader text to links that can be targeted with a CSS selector,
much cleaner than adding visually hidden content to individual links.
