Requested feature overview description.
All the links on the post upload form should open in a new tab.

Why would it be useful?
Currently, clicking the links (either accidentally or on purpose) opens in the same window you're currenlty using and makes you lose your progress with the post information, sometimes losing tons of tags that were about to be added to the image and having to write them all again.

What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?
https://e621.net/uploads/new

another option might be to cancel the beforeunload event

This event enables a web page to trigger a confirmation dialog asking the user if they really want to leave the page.
If the user confirms, the browser navigates to the new page, otherwise it cancels the navigation.

+1 +1 +1 +1 +1 this is absolutely a feature that I need

I just lost 100+ tags while preparing to upload a post on mobile because I accidentally clicked a link 😎😎😎😎

If I made this change myself and made a pull request on the Github would it actually get accepted? Otherwise this thread is just going to get buried again.

The same thing happened to me so many times! This feature is desperately needed.

BTW @faucet when are you going to ditch the creepy penguin?

I have the same question, if I made a pull request regarding a requested feature, will the admins review it and possibly merge it?

Since I asked that question, I've made 15 PRs and 13 of them were merged. I'd say it's worth a try!
