Footer links to new browser tab

How to to open the footer links in a new tab of the webbrowser? Theme Highstarter has two links in the footer: “Designed by Atanas Yonkov” and “Powered by WordPress”. These links open in the same tab of the browser. By e-mail I asked the designer if it was possible to change this in a way that the links open in a new browser tab. Within 1 day he answered with the following solution:

Yes, it is definitely possible. You can do that with a few lines of javascript. For this, you first need to install the Simple Custom CSS and JS plugin and then add the following script:

document.addEventListener(‘DOMContentLoaded’, function() {
document.querySelectorAll(‘.imprint’).forEach(function(e){
e.setAttribute(‘target’, ‘_blank’);
e.setAttribute(‘rel’, ‘noopener’);
});
})

This will open the footer links in a new tab.

And it works!!

Thanks a lot Atanas!
