External links in new window/tab

On some sites, we have the need to force some links within a page to open in another window. My example is a charity site we built that hosts job adverts for free for related charities. The adverts are repeating regions and some contain external links to more information and/or application forms. The adverts are free format, so they are inside a textarea and any links are added via the specific editor defined for the textarea.

I read one solution here - https://forum.grabaperch.com/forum/07-02-2014-opening-external-links-in-a-new-tab

Here's another that we have got working ...

<script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
  $('#content10 a').click(function(){
    window.open(this.href);
    return false;
  });
});
</script>

The latest jQuery library is loaded. The simple script targets all links (a) inside the div id 'content10' - which happens to be the part of the page containing the repeating regions and therefore the job adverts.
