Issue Summary

By default, links to external sites (such as https://www.atlassian.com/) will open in a new tab while links to the same site (such as https://charlie.atlassian.net/wiki/) will open in the same tab.

If the link text to an external site had an inline comment that has been resolved, it will open in the same tab instead.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps:

1. Create a new page
2. Add some text and highlight it
3. Add a link by clicking the Link icon or by clicking Ctrl + K / Command + K
4. Publish the page
5. Click the link to an external site - it should open in a new tab
6. Highlight the link text and add an inline comment
7. Click Resolve on the inline comment
8. Click the link to an external site - it will open in the same tab instead

Expected Results

Links to external sites should open in a new tab.

This is how it looks in Storage Format:

<p><a href="https://www.atlassian.com/">Atlassian</a></p>

Actual Results

Links to external sites with a resolved inline comment will open in the same tab.

This is how it looks in Storage Format:

<p><a href="https://www.atlassian.com/"><ac:inline-comment-marker ac:ref="58e8727d-5014-4e7d-b5e0-96be43f62774">Atlassian</ac:inline-comment-marker></a></p>

Workaround

The available workarounds are:

1. Deleting and recreating the affected link from Edit mode fixes the issue without losing the resolved inline comment (Recommended)
2. Reopen the resolved comment and delete it (Not recommended as the Inline comments will be lost)
