Re: [csswg-drafts] Anchor Link (#4672)

Some browsers can be configured (possibly with the help of optional extensions) to open a link in a new tab or new window or designated existing one… 

- always
- when a certain modifier key is held down or a different mouse button is pressed 
- when the destination is considered external (i. e. different scheme, domain, path or generally origin in `href`)
- if the destination is or appears to be in a specific file format (e. g. an image or PDF document) 
- depending on the value of the  `rel` attribute
- …

and they can be configured to discard the value of the `target` attribute, so it is never a necessary nor sufficient indicator.
