WordPress tinymce default link's target

I'm trying to edit the WordPress TinyMCE editor so all the links has the target = "_blank". I've tried with jquery to set the 'Open link in new tab' checkbox to be always checked but, no results. Thank you

You can accomplish this with the default_link_target setting in your TinyMCE configuration: https://www.tinymce.com/docs/plugins/link/#default_link_target

Here is a TinyMCE Fiddle of this in action: http://fiddle.tinymce.com/31faab

To do this in Wordpress you will need to create a simple plugin that modifies this setting as TinyMCE is loaded. It would look something like this:

<?php
add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'add_my_options', 1000);

function add_my_options($opt) {
    $opt['default_link_target'] = "_blank";

    return $opt;  //you must return $opt to not break things
}
?>

If you have never created a WP plugin they are not hard to build and there are plenty of examples on the web.
