[Request] Using links instead of JS (also some options) #3

Description

@molster

First and foremost this was a great little addition to the nav. However ran into a few issues:

  1. Accessibility: Because these are just spans, screen readers and other form of link detection have no idea the item is a link object to navigate to another page. This can also impact any SEO from these link outs [They are in a nav html block, so some do at least parse it, but not all)

  2. Because these are not links and JS open. There is no way for a user to open these in a new tab, the normal methods of CTRL+Click, Middle mouse button, or right click and open in new tab, do not work due to this not using links. (tho all three options can be supported in a JS click event)

  3. It would be great if we can choose how the links function (EG default opening in a new tab instead of having the users leave the forums for external links)
