External link in default.xml - open in new tab target="_blank" not working.
Need to provide an external link in our Splunk app menu that opens in a new browser tab.
This does not work.

In Splunk 7.2.x opening an external link in a new tab from the app navigation bar works. Example data/ui/nav/default.xml file including a link to the Splunk Developer Portal:
<nav search_view="search">
<view name="search" default='true' />
<view name="datasets" />
<view name="reports" />
<view name="alerts" />
<view name="dashboards" />
<a href="http://dev.splunk.com/" target="_blank">Splunk Developer Portal</a>
</nav>
Tested with Chrome 71.0.3578.98, Firefox 64.0.2, Safari 12.0.2 on macOS 10.14.2.

Splunk even adds a little symbol to the link to indicate that it opens in a new tab.

Oh, and the XML snippet when putting the URL below panel filters on a dashboard panel for a table:
</input>
<html>
<body>
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>
</body>
</html>
<table>
<title> ....

I am sorry but why would you downvote me for pointing out that there is still no solution and that this is a redundant question?
