I have reviewed all the above-mentioned docs. It looks good to me.

I have one query. Whether such links should open in a new tab?
As a reader, I am still going through the doc and will click on such links only for some additional info. So I think it can be a good idea to open them in a new tab. That is just my thought.

What do you think @femkreations @zzap?

[foosantos]

@anandau I don't think this is how we generally do on our docs unless I'm missing something here. I guess it could be proposed as a change to the docs.

I also believe it would have accessibility issues — we would need to inform users whenever it opens in a new tab.

[anandau]

Yes, it is done in the same way throughout all the docs. Even I have done the same in some of the docs that I have updated recently. It is just a thought that came into my mind while reviewing.
But I got your point about accessibility.
