Description

In 6.2 and earlier, the hyperlink "open in new tab" indicated a toggle switch for the presence of the target="_blank" handle.

Now, with the 6.3 update, that has been removed, as well as the means to quickly create new-tab hyperlinks during creation in the modal window.

At this point, editing raw HTML is a more rapid means of indicating that a hyperlink open in a new window.

I would like to support the question posed by @phileossopher. It's really not convenient to do so many clicks to paste external links.

I am seeing the same thing, The link view has a big bug in it and it will create problems for the documentation team too.

The toggle for the open in blank needs to be brought back.
