Way to prevent every link from opening in a new tab?

I’m not sure if this is a setting in our specific instance, a general guru thing, or a user preference I’ve been able to locate but almost every link in a guru card opens up a new tab (they all have `target=”_blank”` in the anchor element). This is particularly frustrating when I’m going through a card with numerous links. 

I’ve read through the post When do Guru card links open in new tabs? but I would prefer to not have to install a Chrome extension and also use other browsers. 

Is there a setting somewhere that can remove the `target=”_blank”` attribute from links in a card?

Hey Paul, Caroline from Guru here — thanks so much for reaching out! Quick question: would you prefer the Cards to open in a new window, or would you rather have them replace the current page you’re on?

For now, the easiest way to open a Card in a new window is by using the Guru extension. And by the way, I really appreciate your feedback — it’s super helpful! 😊

I would prefer them to open in the current window (replace the current page).
