Prerequisites

  • I'm using the latest version of Docusaurus.
  • I have tried the npm run clear or yarn clear command.
  • I have tried rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock package-lock.json and re-installing packages.
  • I have tried creating a repro with https://new.docusaurus.io.
  • I have read the console error message carefully (if applicable).

Description

Accessibility requirement:

Links that open in a new tab or a new window should either have an "aria-label" attribute or a screen-reader only element explaining to the screen-readers that this opens in a new tab.

This happens on every link that goes to another website. Here is an example: Example page (see attachment)
