Hyperlink not opening a new tab

I wonder why this board is not set to open a new tab when you click on a posted link. I like the separate link, especially when trying to see what is referred to while reading the rest of the comments. At the moment, (when I think about it) I can right-click and open the link in a new tab or I have to use the back button to move back to the thread I was reading. If possible, I would recommend adding this functionality to this board.
