Feature request

What problem does this feature solve?

Inform screen reader users in advance if the link will open in a new tab.

https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/general/G201
https://webaim.org/techniques/hypertext/hypertext_links#new_window

What does the proposed API look like?

How should this be implemented in your opinion?

Text customized by locales: $themeLocaleConfig.openNewWindowText

Are you willing to work on this yourself?

Yes

@ktquez - so since we already have the outbound link indicator, would you just want us to add the alt text of the users specification (via $themeLocaleConfig.openNewWindowText) ?
