#43803 closed enhancement (fixed)

Change all the occurrences of `(opens in a new window)` to `(opens in a new tab)`

Description

Today, it's very likely that browsers will open links with a target="_blank" attribute in a new browser's tab rather than in a new window. It is true that this depends also on user settings, but in the vast majority of the cases they will open in a new tab.

Considering also the propsed change in Gutenberg, see https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/6245, I'd propose to just change "window" to "tab".
