A hyperlink generally corresponds to a web page. Clicking on the hyperlink will generally open a new web page.

As for whether this new web page should be "opened in a new tab of the browser" or "reopened in a browser window", it can be set.

The specific settings are as follows: Browser Tools ----> Internet Options ----> Penultimate column tab settings ---> Select when encountering a pop-up window, you can choose according to your needs.
