Link with target="_blank" doesn't open in a new page, when inside a metabox.

[kmgalanakis]

When clicking a link from inside a metabox, which opens to a new page ( target="_blank") nothing happens and the new tab/window is not opening.

Test Code

add_action( 'admin_head', 'my_meta_box' );

function my_meta_box() {
	global $post;
	add_meta_box( 
		'my_meta_box', 
		__( 'My metabox', 'my-context' ), 
		'my_meta_box_callback', 
		$post->post_type, 'side' 
	);
}

function my_meta_box_callback() {
    echo '<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p>';
    echo '<a href="https://wordpress.org/" target="_blank">wordpress.org</a>';
}

Hi @kmgalanakis!

Thank you for the report. I will see if there are any potential workarounds.
