EWS links should open a new tab. Otherwise the experience is: Click on EWS link Scroll down to the link to show layout tests Click the link to load layout test results Go back Wonder where you came from

We're using GitHub Markdown to generate these status bubbles through comments on Pull Requests, and GitHub Markdown doesn't support the target="_blank" attribute or any way to force links to open in new tabs. Workaround is to use Cmd+Click (or equivalent on other platforms). If you are aware of any way to achieve this, please let me know and I would be happy to look into that.

Note that we implemented this behavior for status-bubbles on patch workflow (in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204012), since we had the full control of the status-bubbles there.
