Description

Links like “you have no data; click here for docs” should all open in a
new tab. When TensorBoard is rendered in a notebook context (either
Jupyter or Colab), if the links do not open in a new tab then they will
appear in the output frame—but most sites prevent themselves from being
included in iframes (including any documentation hosted on GitHub), so
the entire frame will fail to load an just appear as a white rectangle.

Ideally we would have some kind of lint rule or automated check to
prevent regressions here.

Research direction

Search the TensorBoard frontend for external help links, then inspect the notebook-rendering paths for Jupyter and Colab. Verify how links currently behave inside the output frame. Done means external help links open in a new tab in notebook contexts and a regression check prevents them from reverting.
