Feature Request: Force external bounty links to open in _blank target to preserve navigation context #176

Description

@vision39

Currently, when clicking on a project or bounty issue from the Algora dashboard, the link opens in the same tab. This disrupts the browsing flow.

If I review an issue on GitHub/GitLab and navigate through that repository (checking files, comments, etc.) but decide not to contribute, I am forced to press the browser's "Back" button multiple times to return to the Algora dashboard. Often, I end up having to re-open Algora in a fresh tab entirely, losing my scroll position or filters.

I would like issue/bounty links to open in a new tab by default (using target=_blank).

I currently have to remember to Ctrl + Click or Cmd + Click manually, but this is not intuitive for a dashboard that acts as an aggregator for external links.

Additional context Opening links in a new tab would allow users to:

  • Quickly "peek" at an issue.

  • If they are not interested, simply close the tab.

  • Immediately return to the Algora dashboard exactly where they left off without reloading the page.
