Open Menu Links in New Tab

Selected custom menu links open in a new tab with safe rel attributes.

Overview

Adds a per-item checkbox on custom WordPress menu links so selected items open in a new tab. On the front end, those items get target="_blank" plus merged rel attributes (noopener noreferrer nofollow). Saving requires menu-edit capabilities. Distinct from opening all external content links—this is menu-item specific.
