Summary	0011896: Remove [^] "open in new window" suffix from links
Description	Modern browsers make it easy for users to open links in a new window via a context menu or shortcut key on the keyboard. Thus this feature is more-or-less redundant. It was also not clear to users that the characters [^] denote that a link will open in a new window.
Tags	No tags attached.
