Open New Windows on external links

For the love of god and everything holy.... please open new windows when an external link is clicked. This is not 1999. It's extremely frustrating to close a project link and then realize i need to navigate back to Jira. Yes, i could use the back button... but that's not how any other program operates. This UI failure makes my ,and hundreds of other users, froth steam. Just checkout the community. Fix this, and you'll be one step closer to accomplishing world peace.
