Link - Assessment Authoring. Default set to New Window

I would like to ask that the default setting for creating or inserting links in assessment authoring be changed from Current Window (which is the default) to New Window (..ie set as default).

As students are in assessments when accessing links, I believe it makes far more sense to have the link open in a new window. This would help to avoid a student exiting the assessment by accident.
The constant change from the default setting of current window is easy to overlook.
