For the link parameter there is no way currently to have the link automatically open in a new tab.

Note that absolute links open in a new browser tab, and relative links in the same browser tab, as documented here.

For the html parameter the answer is yes. You can use the target="new" attribute to make a link open in a new tab:

html: <a target="new" href="https://www.google.com/">Link to Google</a>;;
