@jbogarthyde - actually @IgorMinar has always been against automatically opening links in new tabs, and I agree with him. Forcing external content in a new tab is a constraint on readers which they cannot workaround. Moving to a new tab also can be confusing as it appears that the browsing history was lost.

It is quite straightforward for the reader to open a new tab on a link, for example on OS/X you just hold the Cmd button down while clicking. Now that we have additional visual indicators on all external links I think that this issue should be closed. WDYT?

The external link marker is certainly helpful for actual external links -- the thing that concerns me most is Glossary definitions. I want to encourage the use of the Glossary, and it is annoying for a temporary reminder or reference to take you away from the page you are reading. The definition of a term should be an aid to understanding in the context of the term's usage.

A pop-up would be the best solution. Is that possible?

@jbogarthyde - I think you are requesting that when you click on a glossary link a small pop-up appears showing the definition of the term, without navigating to a new page at all?

This is definitely doable - although it will require a bit of work on the docs-infra side.
Since this is a different requirement to this issue, I am going to close this one.
Can you open a new issue with this specific feature request?
