Description
Hi, I am using the embeddable jobs widget to put our posts on another web page. Sadly this causes the page to fail it's WCAG 2.1 accessibility target.
The error it throws is:
Requirement: Links that open in a new tab or a new window should either have an "aria-label" attribute or a screen-reader only element explaining to screen-readers that this opens in a new tab.
This doesn't seem to be possible to fix through the back end. can this be added in please?
Thanks

Research direction
Start by locating the embeddable jobs widget entry point and reproducing the reported WCAG 2.1 failure for links that open in a new tab. Done means those links expose an appropriate aria-label or screen-reader-only explanation, and the widget no longer triggers the reported accessibility requirement.
