Configure a custom sidebar link to open in a new tab

People who use screen readers are the ones most inconvenienced by opening things in new tabs when they don’t expect it. That’s why it’s generally recommended not to hijack links into a new tab (even though it’s what you and I prefer).

As someone who actually uses a screen reader (and all the fun issues some theme components create for them) I can confirm, it’s generally a bad idea to force new tabs.
