If you are using Theme Builder, you can use the menulink macro, eg:

Is it possible to define the target of a link? I didn't find any information about that.
I would like to open a link into a new window like:
<a href="http://aktuell.de.selfhtml.org/" target="_blank">link opens in new window</a>
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Michael

I also don’t want any extraneous characters to appear in the link when it’s printed as plain text. The plain text should also fit in with the formatting of the text around it, so I don’t want to apply a special style – preformatting, for example – to it.
I feel like I came across one but can’t find the page where I might have gotten it right.

We are using both Confluence and JIRA.
During the creation of a new page, we included an external link to a JIRA ticket. The expected result I was hoping to see is that (with Trackback turned on) the JIRA ticket will have a field label called "External References" within the JIRA ticket and referencing the path of the Confluence page.
Somehow it is not behaving as expected. Any pointers?
