Addresses #67177
What?
This update changes the "Add New Post" button to open the post editor in a new tab. This makes it easier for users to switch between creating a post and their current work.
Why?
In the Query Loop block, there’s a link to "Add New Post" in the block description. Clicking this link currently takes users to the post editor, which can disrupt their workflow. While the intent is to guide users to add posts, especially in an empty state, this flow can be confusing and counterproductive.
How?
The change adds two properties to the link: target="_blank" and rel="noreferrer". This ensures the link opens in a new tab, improving the overall user experience.
