❓ Question
In my experience, links created by markdown aka this type of link usually open in new tabs within my browser.
When I visit the NTFY web app (self hosted) the links open within the same tab. Are the other sites that implement the MD links putting in additional behind the scenes HTML for that?

(I know I'm a lazy bum that doesn't want to shift+click or middle click :) )

Yeah because Markdown currently does not support hyperlinks being opened on a new tab.
