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:

Splunk Developer Portal

Please Note:-It works only for 7.2.x versions and above.Tried it with lower versions(for ex.6.5.x) of splunk and it's not working.For 7.2.x it works for pre-defined apps as well as custom apps also.
