Hi @adriangalbincea,
There is no in-built option for this but it can be achieved via adding the following code in the "Custom HTML Head Content" customization setting:

<script>
	document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
		var links = document.querySelectorAll('.page-content a');
		for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
			links[i].target = '_blank';
		}
	});
</script>

This custom hack is not officially supported but it should be quite stable and rarely ever break.
