Not to state the obvious, but one can always right-click and open a link in a new tab manually. But yeah, I'd enjoy having this as the default or an option as well. It's pretty rare that I want to follow an external link in the same tab I'm using to read Lemmy. I'd pretty much always prefer a new one.

There is a even easier way, click the scroll wheel which opens it in a new tab.
