Link target can be specified

[codelabor]

This is an enhancement or feature.

Summary

Use this when you want to display the contents in a new window when you click the header link.
Setting 'link.target' allows you to specify the target of the anchor tag to display the content as the desired target.
For example, you can set navigation.yml as follows.

main:
  - title: "Posts"
    url: /posts/
  - title: "Categories"
    url: /categories/
  - title: "Tags"
    url: /tags/
  - title: "/somewhere/"
    url: https://somewhere
    target: "_blank" # new window

Maybe use the jekyll-target-blank plugin external pages in a new window.
