Just like you did it with the “href” attribute and its value.

The target attribute is used in an HTML <a> (anchor) tag to specify where to open the linked document. The value of the target attribute can be one of the following:

  • _blank: Open the link in a new window or tab
  • _self: Open the link in the same window or tab (default value)
  • _parent: Open the link in the parent frame
  • _top: Open the link in the full body of the window

For example, if you want to open a linked document in a new window or tab, you would add the target attribute with a value of _blank to the <a> tag like this:

<a href="https://example.com" target="_blank">Link Text</a>
