Maxim Solodovnik commented on WICKET-6520:
------------------------------------------

There are too many possible options here ...

I would use: [https://ci.apache.org/projects/wicket/apidocs/8.x/org/apache/wicket/behavior/AttributeAppender.html] ....

> ExternalLink by default opens a link in the same window however it is very common use case to open external links in a new tab/window.
> Of course It is possible to change this behavior by overriding onComponentTag method and do {color:#808080}tag.put("target", "_blank"){color}, but this generates unnecessary boilerplate code.
> I think that ExternalLink could have additional parameter in constructor defining whether this link should be opened in a new or the same tab (It could just put target="_blank" on a hrefs and formtarget="_blank" on buttons with _type="submit")._
