It is a simple line of code and the entire site does this or add target=“_blank” to every hyperlink, and it will do the same thing. It sucks that you have to right-click every link to open in a new tab or window and it is such a simple fix.

This feature was requested a while ago and the main Lemmy dev disagreed with it. I sort of agree (they’re just links, every browser has quick ways to open links in new tabs, there are alternative frontends that do it if you want to, etc.) but who knows if their position on the topic changed.
You could also ask your friendly Lemmy server admins if it’s possible to add this patch to your server if upstream Lemmy doesn’t want to do it.
