How can I ensure my links open in a new tab?

Bug Reporting

Use Bugzilla to report bugs. See Creating a bugzilla{target="_blank"} for details on creating a Bugzilla.

This should work:
[link text](the link){:target="_blank"}
The curly brackets and colon thing is somewhere in the kramdown documentation.
