Hey Quincy. Thanks for your feature request. By normal web standards, it is actually considered "rude" to open a link in a new tab or new window unless the user explicitly requested that. To do it for all links in comments would definitely not be what most users want. You can always middle-click links to open them in new tabs, though.
