I'd suggest, rather than coding something on each link, just let the user know to right click on the document so they can either open in a new tab, a different program, or a new window.
Personally it's painful to hear "Open in new tab" or ""open in new window" at the end of a hyperlink. Especially when, depending on user settings for a specific browser, it might not do what one expects. Chrome/Firefox/Edge all handle these types of links differently.
Cheers,
David
