Opens external links found in Jira in a new tab
No longer will you click on a link in Jira and lose your place in your workflow!
This simple extension modifies all external links in Jira and other Atlassian products so that they open in a new tab.
This extension is 100% open source, you can view it in full and submit any issues at https://github.com/aschmelyun/jira-external-links

Freezes tab then trying to edit issue description.
Until Jira gets off their butts and actually follows web standards of handling external links, this extension is so simple and solves the issue perfectly. It's a must have for Jira users.
So far so good, one day in and this has dramatically improved my workflow. Still can't believe Jira doesn't support this natively.
Works perfectly, no setup needed at all
Unlike the most popular extension, this one actually WORKS. Brilliant.
Why this isn't built into Jira is beyond me... but this does exactly what I need it to do!
