"Open all external links in new tab" doesn't work from reply context

Bug
1

It seems to be isolated only to links to other Discourse instances though.

Repro steps, with “Open external links in new tab” enabled in options:

  1. Reply to a post containing a link to another Discourse instance (not a oneboxed post)
  2. Click the “Reply to” indicator.
  3. Click on the link
  • external links to non-Discourse sites seem to work fine
  • links to other Discourse instances open in same tab
  • EXCEPTION: http://what.thedailywtf.com behaves correctly

Reproduced here in a PM chain.

I just had this problem with a link (oneboxed) to here.

Just to clarify, this is in fact broken:

The oneboxes are good, the non oneboxed stuff is bust.

Fixed per:

Quite severe, all link tracking was broken for any expanded posts (above or below)
