target on frame opens new window without warning Accessibility Checkpoint

Description

Avoid specifying a new window as the target of a frame with target=_blank.

Help

Some mobile devices give little feedback a new tab has opened, and make it hard to switch tabs. Replace target="_blank" with an accessible alternative.
