🐛 Bug: External Links Open in Same Tab

[Tushar8466]

Describe the bug

All external links across the Guide pages (e.g., "Landscape2 project", "contributing guidelines", "sponsors page", "JSON Schema tooling") currently open in the same browser tab, causing users to navigate away from the documentation unexpectedly.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Go to the JSON Schema Landscape site and navigate to the Guide section
2. On the Introduction page, click any external link (e.g., "Landscape2 project" or "contributing guidelines")
3. Observe that the link opens in the same tab, replacing the current page
4. Use the browser back button to return — repeat for links on Adopters, Sponsors, and

Expected Behavior

External links should open in a new tab (target="_blank") so users can:

• Continue reading the documentation without losing their place
• Easily return to the JSON Schema landscape after exploring the linked resource

Current Behavior

Clicking any external link (e.g., on the Introduction page) replaces the current page, forcing users to use the browser's back button to return.

Suggested Fix

Add target="_blank" and rel="noopener noreferrer" to all outbound/external links:

<a href="https://external-site.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Link Text</a>

Note: rel="noopener noreferrer" should always accompany target="_blank" for security best practices.
