Technically the attribute target="_blank" could be provided with a hint by user agents. I thought that I saw that in a configuration of jaws already. Tested it with Fusion 2022: Default did not give any hint.

For me it is annoying not to know about a new window or tab. For others it might be even confusing.

Didn't find anything in the UAAG, so should it be discussed for UAAG upgrades?
