Editing items in a batch should open in a new tab - it currently opens within the same tab.

Hi Laura, could you explain the use case for this? The change is straightforward enough, but everything else in the Edit menu opens within the same tab too, and changing just one link seems confusing to me.

Setting to FQA for feedback

Possibly out of scope, but I wonder if we could do something similar to bug 38476 to allow the user to open the link in a new tab themselves if they want to?
