There’s a preference for that. Personally, I dislike being forced automatically to open a new tab unless there’s a good reason.
do editors get the option to set the target? (I haven’t tried yet

Not sure I understand the question? Currently, clicking a link in a thread does not open it in a new tab, after enabling the setting they will open in a new tab I assume all links to forum.umbraco.com will open in the same tab.
Let’s test…
[Umbraco Link 1](https://umbraco.com/)
<a href="https://umbraco.com/" target="_blank">Umbraco Link 2</a>
Gives us:
Edit: I’m pleasantly surprised that just works as you’d expect. Unfortunately Markdown doesn’t have a standard markup for extra attributes, so then it’s necessary to break out the ol’ angle brackets.
