Open links in new window

Is there a way to open links in new windows? I can't find anything in the settings and it's kind of annoying. Thanks

No there isn't, you need to press you middle mouse button to open in a new tab.

There has been plenty of discussion about it on the GitHub page but the pull request was rejected.
- That's really unfortunate to not have, and it leaves a bad taste in the mouth to hear that from the devs.
  
  Thanks for the reply.
  
  We are using a Alpha product. Please give the developers some time to implement more needed things instead. Such as the ability for a user to block a instance.

  Middle click instead of left click is too hard for you?
  
  Why expect the dev's to bother coding for something you already have?
  
  Hold control when clicking a link then.

There are attributes in the my_user for it, however even setting it to true via API as there are no "settings" for it yet on my account does nothing as there is no functionality implemented at the moment as far I understand:

"my_user": {
    "local_user_view": {
        "local_user": {
            "id": removed_for_privacy,
            "person_id": 637014,
            "email": "removed_for_privacy",
            "show_nsfw": true,
            "theme": "browser",
            "default_sort_type": "Active",
            "default_listing_type": "Local",
            "interface_language": "browser",
            "show_avatars": true,
            "send_notifications_to_email": false,
            "validator_time": "removed_for_privacy",
            "show_scores": true,
            "show_bot_accounts": true,
            "show_read_posts": true,
            "show_new_post_notifs": false,
            "email_verified": true,
            "accepted_application": true,
            "open_links_in_new_tab": true,
            "infinite_scroll_enabled": true
        },

But damn it would be a nice feature tho.
