WordPress,
Please add a way to OPEN LINK IN NEW TAB without clicking the cog. This should really be the default, or there should be a way to make this the default. Having to click the cog every time is significantly slowing down the process of posting, especially when every blog post I do has 30-50 external links. Alternately add a NEW TAB LINK button that will perform this functionality with extra clicks.
If possible I’d like to be notified when this issue is changed back to how it functioned previously with an easily visible checkbox when adding a link or an alternate method is available without extra clicks.
