Since its an HTML development tool, it will confuse users if we disable window.open/ anchor tag hrefs not opening up new windows. So we enable that.
The security posture wont change due to this as 1, since the iframe is sandboxed, the popout that escaped the sandox will no loger be able to communicate with phcode, and hence isolated.
Another thing to note is that, for virtual serving urls, the popout will result in a 404 as the virtual server is sandboxed within a tab/phcode. But this is the case even before this change. Normal click-navigations will not be affected, just
open link in new tab
workflows with virtual server target urls will fail.
