Links with attributes like target, class, etc

There is a need for implementation of the target attribut for links

Given is a common real-world scenario like this

<a href="http://example.com/" target="_blank">Hello, world!</a>

For sure, other attributes are considerable, too: class, style, etc.

Proposed at Syntax as a formatted ![image] and a [link] with attributes are:.

[image]: http://path.to/image "Image title" width=40px height=400px
[link]:  http://path.to/link.html "Some Link" class=external style="border: solid black 1px;"

Would be great to see this come to life, soon! :slight_smile:

I, for one, am glad that there isn’t native support for the [target] attribute, because it’s bad for UX (and accessibility!). Please reconsider your use case for [target].

In any event, generic attribute syntax is already being discussed in another thread.

@zzzzBov your’re absolutely right: it should be a generic attribute syntax!
