Description

Links with target="_blank" will not open for URL's that are in whitelist. I.e. with these settings in config.xml:

<allow-navigation href="https://*.apache.org" />
<allow-intent href="https://*" />

And HTML:
<a href="https://www.apache.org" target="_blank">Test link</a>

Will not open. This ends up in CDVIntentAndNavigationFilter.m in shouldOverrideLoadWithRequest which simply returns YES. It should, however, open these cases as the case for "CDVIntentAndNavigationFilterValueIntentAllowed".
