I've had that thought, too, Nova. I'd find it really helpful, but I don't know enough about coding to know if it'd be a pain to implement.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

What is even happening?
I wish all our links added the functionality that the target="_blank" coding does when you make an t a href tag. The Bronze Beta does this. All links open up a new page. If you include the target="_blank" coding in your t a href there though, your link doesn't link.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like the idea that the threadsuck has them, but I'm reluctant to do that for every link.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I open a new tab (but not window) for links, so that functionality in general links would subtract functionality for me.
I have no opinion on the threadsuck issue.

Hey. New board.
If you middle-click a link designed to open in a new window, it will still open in a new tab rather than a new window. So if it was implemented, opening links in a new tab would work exactly the same.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I generally open links in the same window I'm in, because I prefer using the back button to having a bunch of windows and tabs floating around. When I want something in a different tab or different window, I open it that way, and I generally find it annoying when something automatically opens in another window.. Making it automatically in a different window would also subract functionality for me.

(I have no middle button. Just one button. I love my Mac.)

I'm using a laptop, and also have no middle button.

Our wings are not tired
I just right click or cntrl-click and choose new tab.
New window would drive me bugfuck, too much like popups.

I agree with that for in-thread links, but on the threadsuck page I'd prefer it automatically go to a new window.
