Re: [w3c/manifest] Provide a way to not open a link in the PWA, in the moment (#989)

We're hitting this issue as well. We have to declare the scope of the PWA to be our entire domain, but we have certain links that should not be opened in the PWA (in fact many of users seem to be getting into a circular state based on some support and Google Play reviews, where they tap links inside the PWA that open in the PWA even though they should open in the browser, and then on those pages they try to get back to the app which opens the Play Store, and then they find the loop where opening the app from the Play Store just takes them back to the page they were on just before the Play Store). Confusing, I know, but this would be entirely avoided if there was a directive that could be applied, or "target=_blank" was respected, so that PWAs can better replicate native apps (e.g. we haven't heard from any of our native iOS users about this, because the expected behavior occurs where the links open in Safari).
