Back in the day on the web site the marketing team always insisted links open in a new windows b/c customers won't ever come back if you direct them away. Eventually browsers let users override that nonsense. The insistence by our marketing team on all these embedded browsers reminds me of the same mindset in 2020.

I also believe links should open in the same window, but I've met people who religiously believe otherwise and they are not a part of marketing team
