I am using markdown to include links urls. I am using the below markdown syntax:

[link text](http://example.com) 

The issue is each time I click the linked text it opens the url in the same tab as the notebook. I want the url to open it in a new tab. The markdown syntax to open a new tab should be:

[link](url){:target="_blank"}

as per https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4425198/can-i-create-links-with-target-blank-in-markdown
