Description
Is it possible to add the option to open a link in a new window. Right now, the only way to do this is to open a link in a new tab, navigate to that tab and type shift + w to open in a new tab.
If there happens to be better way to do this, please let me know.
Also, thanks for making such an awesome plugin!
