    The important thing is to inform users if a link will open in a new tab. This helps keep your site predictable, which is important for accessibility.

    Use of ARIA tag like this:

    <a href="URL" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" aria-label="Learn More About Company (Opens In New Window)" title="(Opens In New Tab)">Learn More About Company</a>
