Unexpected internal links should maybe follow “Open all external links in a new tab” setting

Feature

Continuing the discussion from External links in history don’t follow “Open all external links in a new tab” setting:

I have found another instance where I would have expected the link to open in new tab.

  1. Have the “Open all external links in a new tab” setting enabled in your user preferences
  2. Go to this post
  3. Click any of the 3 links

These links break the Discourse browsing as they are links to attached/uploaded files, kind of technical folders (/uploads/…, etc.), not to regular Discourse pages (/t/…, /u/…, etc.)

They are not really external links but they are not normal Discourse browsing pages, either.
So maybe not a bug…

You are right.

I’m gonna just move this to feature and we visit this again if it hits critical mass.
