External Link Checker: Open in new tab

[luc122c]

When checking the links from #999, I thought it might be nicer for the links to open in a new tab (since they are external to GitHub).

I was also wondering if it's worth truncating the length of the URL to prevent the table from extending past the width of the comment?

I don't have a strong opinion on this, but I'm fine with the change.

Yes, I think that would be a good improvement, since the icons column should always be visible. Or maybe we just have to swap the columns around?

I like that idea better, since no data is lost. I'll do that now.

@FloEdelmann I really struggled to get the Markdown formatting right with the nowrap column, so I opted to use HTML formatting only. I hope this is OK.

Thanks, it looks much neater now. Good spot with the getLinkDataFromBody function, I didn't notice that.

Looks good to me, thanks 🙂

I'll update the description of #999 manually to the new format now, so that the parser doesn't fail.
