💡 What: Added target="_blank", rel="noopener noreferrer", and aria-labels to external links in the documentation.
🎯 Why: To improve the user experience by not navigating users away from the documentation when accessing external resources, and to ensure screen reader users are warned of the context shift, complying with WCAG.
📸 Before/After: Visual behavior changed to open links in a new tab.
♿ Accessibility: Appended "(opens in a new tab)" to the aria-label of these links so screen readers can correctly convey the context shift to users.
