            There's a couple reasons why we don't want to do this:

            1. We'd rather let the user control where the content opens, as they can use the browser to determine whether it happens in a new tab/window or the current one.

            2. I'd rather not add a setting for something that can already be controlled (as described above) and generally don't want to add settings unless there's a strong call for it. Your own example shows it's only the minority of the time you want to make use of it.

            I'd suggest a tip macro telling people to right click and open the link in a new tab would be a workaround.

            I have several images in one page, but i want only one image to open the attachment linked to it in a new window.

            Rest of the images also have attachmnets linked to it but they should be opened in the same page itself
