Issue Summary

On “Create issue” modal dialog the “help ” icon links are opening in a new tab without warning.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Turn on screen reader, navigate to “Create” link in header region and activate it
2. Navigate to “Get local help about Issue type” link and activate it. Observe that it gets open in new tab without warning.
3. Navigate to “Get local help about Priority” link and activate it. Observe that it gets open in new tab without warning.

Actual Results

Users were not informed about "Get local help about Issue type", “Get local help about Priority", etc links displaying information in a new tab. As a result it will lead confusion in minds of screen reader users about this links.

Expected Results

Inform users in advance about links opening in a new window. Apply following fixes

• Provide the text in the aria-label attribute of the link <a> element. 
  For Example : aria-label="Get local help about Issue Type, opens in a new tab"
• As a best practice provide an icon beside the link to provide a visual cue about link opening in new tab.
