What are some alternative solutions to adding the target="_blank" attribute in PHP?

When creating links in PHP, the target="_blank" attribute is used to open the link in a new tab or window. One alternative solution is to use JavaScript to dynamically add the attribute to the link elements. This can be done by targeting the links using a specific class or ID and then adding the attribute using JavaScript. 

<?php
// PHP code to generate a link without target="_blank" attribute

$link = 'https://www.example.com';
echo '<a href="' . $link . '">Click here</a>';
?>

<script>
// JavaScript code to add target="_blank" attribute to the link
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
  var links = document.querySelectorAll('a[target="_blank"]');
  links.forEach(function(link) {
    link.setAttribute('target', '_blank');
  });
});
</script>
