Issue: #853:-

Fixes issue with dropdown links opening in a new tab instead of the same tab.

Description:

This PR removes target="_blank" from the dropdown menu links (Status, Profile, Tasks, Identity) so that they now open in the same tab instead of a new tab. This aligns with user expectations for navigation within the same application.

Also ensures rel="noopener noreferrer" is retained for security where applicable.

The update introduces a comment above the dropdown menu section in the header template for clarity. Additionally, it removes the target="_blank" attribute from all relevant anchor and LinkTo elements within the dropdown, affecting navigation links like Home, Status, Profile, Tasks, and Identity.

Changes

File	Change Summary
app/components/header.hbs	Added a comment above the dropdown; removed target="_blank" from dropdown navigation links.

Poem

In the header where menus reside,
A comment now sits, with nothing to hide.
No more new tabs when links are clicked,
Navigation’s simple, no windows picked.
The dropdown’s refreshed, neat and clear—
Just a small change, but worth a cheer!
