Missing information

Issue description

When opening external links in the documentation, they currently open in the same tab. This can cause:

  • Users to lose their place in the documentation.
  • Confusion when navigating back and forth.
  • Accidental navigation away from the repository, interrupting workflow.
    Thus Update external links in README.md to use: target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"
    This ensures:
    Links open in a new tab, keeping the documentation page open.
    Security and privacy are maintained (noopener noreferrer).
    A smoother and safer experience for contributors and readers.

Context 🔦

When browsing the documentation, I noticed that external links open in the same tab by default. This makes it easy to lose track of the page you were on and can interrupt the flow for contributors trying to follow instructions.
What I’m trying to accomplish

  • Ensure external links open in a new tab to maintain the user’s place in the documentation.
  • Improve contributor experience and reduce navigation confusion.
  • Apply security best practices with rel="noopener noreferrer".
