Option to not open external links in new tab/window

[hugovk]

External links have target="_blank" so the open in a new tab or window.

Usability and accessibility advice and guidelines generally discourage it:

• https://www.nngroup.com/articles/new-browser-windows-and-tabs/
• https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/G200.html
• https://it.wisc.edu/learn/make-it-accessible/develop-accessible-websites/when-to-open-links-in-a-new-tab/
• https://adrianroselli.com/2020/02/link-targets-and-3-2-5.html

Would it be possible to add an option to disable this?

In the short term, I partially work around it with JavaScript but it would be better for this to also be possible when JavaScript is disabled.

Thank you!

I think you could use a render hook template to alter hugo's behavior here..
