Currently opening links in a new tab is only possible with SharePoint online site navigation. check: SharePoint: Configure Navigation Links to Open in a New Tab 

 

Microsoft is considering bringing same functionality for quick links web part as well (no ETA), check: Open in a new tab Quick Links Web Part SharePoint Online
