Can we have an option to open links automagically in a new tab?

Not a fan of getting punted off Lemmy so easily! Last two times was because I tried to expand an image in front of a post.

Once forced to an outside URL I have to browser back to Lemmy, log back into Lemmy, then I've lost my place in my feed and interest in whatever it was I was just chasing.
