Open external links in modern sharepoint sites and hub site navigation in a new tab

Hello, we have several external links on modern sharepoint pages and in our hub site navigation. Do you know any way to make it possible to open these links in a new tab (especially for ext. links in hub site navigation and quicklinks web part)? 

 

Automatically opens ext. links in the same tab:

  • hub site navigation
  • quicklinks web part

Automatically opens ext. links in a new tab:

  • Hero web part
  • communication site navigation

Appreciate your help!

    You can choose to open individual links in new browser tab using quick links web part settings, like:
