<p>This plugin enqueues a simple jQuery script that looks for any anchor tag that has an href property to something with a file extension of 1-5 characters and makes it open in a new window or tab.</p>
<p><a href="https://gist.github.com/abrudtkuhl/94a6f58d1f76439fa6fb" rel="nofollow ugc">see script here</a></p>
<p>This means any link to a .pdf, .txt, .ppt, .doc, .xls, .xlst, etc will automatically have the property ‘target=”_blank”‘ added to it so it opens in a new window or browser tab.</p>


Open Files In New Window or Tab

Makes any link to a file open in a new tab by adding 'target="_blank"' to the link.
