Yeah, that's a really good suggestion.
I had thought of it - but the purist in me was reluctant to add a "magic
character sequence" without any escape mechanism. And the limitation of
"no whitespace" made it tricky to limit the context of the replace.
However - the fact that you made the suggestion has bolstered the
pragmatist in me, so currently the pragmatist is winning over the purist :-)
Indeed, I'll make the character sequence be "_NEW_TAB_" - and then it
feels like enhanced readability, so it's a feature :-) Thanks.
And (yet again) thanks to this list for the help and suggestions people
are willing to put time into ...

Couldn’t you simply replace your suitably chosen trailing characters with
TARGET="_blank" after using the function? (I mention characters as a single *
might be used elsewhere.)
